In more big news from the event, the legendary developer Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid, Death Stranding) announced he’s working on a brand new IP with Sony, described as a next generation action espionage game. “I am confident that this title will be the culmination of my work,” he says. No trailer, title, or whatnot as yet.

Silent Hill: The Short Message
This is available to play, for free, for PS5 gamers today. It’s a short-form title from Konami set within the Silent Hill universe. It is staged in in the modern day and features a new, female protagonist. The company said it chose the modern theme of the struggle with tech and social media and how young people communicate through those mediums. You can see the trailer below.
The Silent Hill 2 remake trailer features new gameplay footage and showcases the combat. The revamped game will be out this year.
