For the first time on ‘next generation’ hardware Konami bring the shocks and scares of the sixth in the series Silent Hill: Homecoming.

A new protagonist and a new generation of hardware to deliver the shocks and horror that is the Silent Hill franchise.

With distribution by Atari, Konami are aiming for a release date towards the end of September for Silent Hill: Homecoming on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Australia and New Zealand.

From the release: The sixth installment in the classic video games series, Silent Hill: Homecoming introduces another protagonist to the mythos. The story follows Alex Shepherd, returning to his hometown of Shepherd’s Glen to investigate the sudden disappearance of his brother.  From Shepherd’s Glen to Silent Hill, Alex must face the darkest of horrors in order to find his brother. Struggling with his own grip on reality, Alex must unravel the mystery behind his nightmares, discover the truth behind his brother’s disappearance, and confront the evil lurks in the seemingly empty streets of Silent Hill.

Homecoming is the first Silent Hill title for the new wave of ‘next generation’ consoles, featuring all-new graphics that bring the fear and terror of Silent Hill alive like never before.  Alex must survive attacks from the misshapen denizens of the town using an all-new enhanced combat system that provides a wide array of attacks and counters. Along the way, Alex will encounter a variety of weapons to battle these horrific monsters and must also solve deadly puzzles as he uncovers the darkest secrets of Silent Hill. 

Silent Hill: Homecoming also features an all-new soundtrack by acclaimed series composer Akira Yamaoka.
