Konami is developing revivals of its Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Silent Hill franchises, according to a VGC report citing unnamed publishing sources.

The first of these revivals will reportedly be a new Castlevania game, described by sources as a "reimagining" of the series currently in development internally at Konami in Japan with support from external Japanese studios.

A Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater-centered remake project is also reportedly in development at Singapore-based studio Virtuos, while Konami also intends to release remastered versions of the original Metal Gear Solid games ahead of the remake.

Finally, VGC reports multiple Silent Hill games are in development at various external development studios—one of which was outsourced to a prominent Japanese developer earlier this year.

Gematsu has also heard that a new Silent Hill is in development at a prominent Japanese developer. That studio is Kojima Productions, according to a publishing source that wishes to remain anonymous, who also said that the game is funded by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
