Update 2: Konami has published a statement earlier confirming that it's no longer working on Silent Hills.

"Konami is committed to new Silent Hill titles, however the embryonic 'Silent Hills' project developed with Guillermo del Toro and featuring the likeness of Norman Reedus will not be continued," read the statement.

Update: Konami has told Eurogamer that it will continue to work on the Silent Hill franchise and its contract with actor Norman Reedus has expired, although no other information specific to Silent Hills has been made clear.

Original story: The Silent Hill remake overseen by horror director Guillermo Del Toro and Metal Gear's Hideo Kojima has reportedly been cancelled.
