Eleven years after P.T. was released, the delisted Silent Hills demo is an example of a project that could have become a great horror game if it hadn’t been canceled by Konami. Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya counts himself among P.T.’s fans, and he wants Hideo Kojima to make another game like that. And if Kojima won’t revisit the horror of P.T., then perhaps Kamiya will tackle it himself.
In a post shared on X (translated by IGN), Kamiya said, “If it’s impossible to resurrect P.T., Kojima should make a new game in the same style. if Kojima doesn’t do it, maybe I’ll give it a go. I hate horror though, so it wouldn’t be horror… Plus, I have no ideas.”
Kamiya has previously shared his admiration for P.T., while adding that he finds the game too scary to play alone. He also noted that the Japanese horror title, The Exit 8, taps into the desire for more P.T., but he felt it was a “lite” version of P.T..
Although P.T. is no longer available to readily play, someone figured out how to track the movements of Lisa, the malevolent spirit in the demo. The legacy of P.T. has lived on since its release, and it’s even been remade by fans in Halo Infinite.
One of Kojima’s upcoming titles, OD, appeared to pay homage to Silent Hills in an early trailer. That game is believed to be a horror title that’s exclusive to Xbox Series X|S, but Kojima has yet to share firm details about what the game is about.
