Dusk Golem, an insider who specialises in information regarding horror games, has revealed that the remake of Silent Hill 1 has been in development for roughly three years now. The insider has been accurate with his information many times, as he recently revealed some details about Resident Evil 9, which have since proven to be true. 

He further states that the game will be released in 2027, so the overall development time will be stretched to 5 years.
