Konami Press Start as it happened: original Silent Hill remake confirmed, plus updates on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and Silent Hill f

Hello and welcome!

Greetings! Welcome to our live coverage of the imminent Konami Press Start live stream.

We'll be providing moment to moment coverage of what the publisher shows off, as well as giving you all the best information about the stream and throwing in some fun predictions and personal takes too.

Strap in, the live stream starts in just under an hour!

The key information

Right, let's remind you of the most important information, shall we?

Konami's Press Start live stream will start at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm BST, and you can catch it on the publisher's YouTube channel and Twitch page.

Easy peasy - but get in position and open those tabs now, as interest will be peaking soon!

More Metal Gear Solid is never a bad thing

While the two games on show today are both huge deals, personally, I'm more excited for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

As a PlayStation fan of a...certain age group..., Metal Gear was a huge part of my gaming youth and is 'my' PS1 and PS2 series. As a result, my hype is reaching fever-pitch levels, and with the game looking as good as it does, it looks set to be a cracker.

Cold War Russia never looked so good, and Naked Snake's famous adventure can't come quickly enough for fans like me.

But Silent Hill f looks gripping too

The 8th mainline Silent Hill entry, this game looks like a gripping mix of beauty and horror.

Set in 1960s Japan, you play as a high school student consumed by a quite familiar Silent Hill-esque fog, fighting monsters and solving puzzles.

Built around a concept of finding terror in something immensely beautiful, even I, as a non horror fan, am deeply intrigued and can't wait to see more.

What will we see, specifically?

Konami is promising "extended looks" at both games - but what might that actually mean for our eyeballs?

Well, in the context of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, it'll likely mean we get to see parts of the remade classic that we haven't already. I'd love this to be some more key story points, boss fights, and iconic locations. Maybe even some updated mechanics of the game, with 2025 versions of classic functions being showcased.

Right, I just need to go and walk the dog around the block very quickly before we strap in for the show! Be right back!

Ok, I'm back and ready to get my Metal Gear and Silent Hill on!

Hoping for some weapons...

Our freelance news writer Demi is very excited for Silent Hill f, and has some hopes about what will be shown today:

"I'm hoping for an extended look at a Silent Hill f level that shows us how combat works. Is stealth an option, too? Can you avoid enemies completely or do you have to fight them to progress?

"I also hope they shows what weapons are available."

OK we're starting!

Noriaka Okamura, a producer on Metal Gear introduces another look at Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater now.

Snake vs Monkey details!

Snake vs Monkey mode is further showcased and will be on PS5 and Steam.

Among some chat, we're getting some new flashes of cinematics and gameplay

We're getting a look at some beautiful settings and pictures now as the developers talk to us about immersing players in the world - through audio and visuals.

Now we're getting some insight into the narrative and lore of the game, with the team being very conscious of respecting and retaining the series' core story elements and vibes.

Looks like an OG Silent Hill remaster has just been confirmed!

We got a quick screen of the original Silent Hill game name with some original music that seems to confirm Bloober Team are remaking the original Silent Hill.

And that's it! The Press Start live stream has ended.

What did you think? I was hoping for more on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, really...

Though the reveal of the original Silent Hill getting a remake (seemingly) is a good twist to end on!

I've now added a list of everything shown in the Press Start event at the top of this live blog for your viewing pleasure!

Silent Hill remake headlines the show

In hindsight and reflection, the Silent Hill remake announcement was the most exciting reveal or tease during the event.

We knew the other two were coming and a fair bit about them already, after all, but this remake is going to make a lot of fans of the series happy, especially with the way Team Bloober executed the remake of Silent Hill 2 last year.

You can see the teaser screen that Konami had in the showcase below now via their X / Twitter account, alongside a suitably creepy caption...

Konami is also enjoying the reveal of the new Metal Gear multiplayer mode.

I'm deeply curious about it and can't wait to check it out.

That's all from me

And with that, I'm going to end my live coverage of the Press Start event as we all digest that Silent Hill remake news!

I'll leave this page with all the core information of what was shown off for any of you that are coming to it late, but otherwise, I'll catch you next time!
