Push the truck and get a Mew!
[Update: Xbox bossPhil Spencer has confirmed that this rumor isn’t true. My history of being right at all times about all things continues.]
There isa rumorgetting posted on basically every gaming website saying Microsoft is buyingSilent Hillsfrom Konami for billions of dollars, and it sounds like complete bullshit.
An anonymous source has toldRooster Teeth’sThe Knowthat Microsoft is hoping to have the game as an Xbox One exclusive. They also state the game is 80 percent complete and would release in March of next year.
Microsoft bought Mojang andMinecraftfor 2.5 billion dollars, a series that has sold14 million copies just on consoles, and who knows how many millions on mobile and PC. In comparison theSilent Hillseries has onlysold a measly 8.65 million copies.Minecrafthas tons of merchandise that basically prints money for Microsoft, so it makes sense to shell out that kind of money for it, but it certainly doesn’t make sense forSilent Hill. Plus the rumor is just forSilent Hills, not necessarily the whole IP. Microsoft would have to be off its rocker crazy to drop that kind of change on the series, let alone one game.
I’d love to eat my words on this one, but I’m certainSilent Hillsis staying dead.
