PT Silent Hills Remake Taken Down By Konami

A few years ago, Konami made the surprising and controversial decision to cancel Silent Hills and remove its playable teaser, known simply as PT, from the PlayStation Store. The resulting backlash from the Silent Hills cancellation saw a number of game developers move forward with spiritual successors attempting to emulate the PT experience, and some fans start work on straight-up remakes that would make the game more widely available. Unfortunately, one of the most notable of these remakes, PT for PC, has since been shut down.

Konami contacted PT for PC creator Qimsar and told him that he had to take down the project, though the company is apparently compensating him in some way. According to Qimsar, Konami will be giving the PT for PCdeveloper merch and video games, on top of offering him an internship where he would work with Konami studios in Europe, the United States, and Japan. Qimsar seems excited at this possible opportunity, especially since he’s 17 years old and has yet to even graduate high school.
