Silent Hills is a cancelled survival horror video game that was under development by Kojima Productions for PlayStation 4. Directed by Hideo Kojima, in collaboration with film director Guillermo del Toro, it was to be the ninth installment in the Silent Hill series.

Kojima was brought onto the project in September 2012 by Konami; the game was first revealed in August 2014 via P.T. (Playable Teaser), a critically praised demo that was released as a free download from PlayStation Store. P.T. also revealed the involvement of Del Toro, along with Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead fame as the voice of its protagonist.

The fate of the game's development was left in question due to rumors surrounding Kojima's future at Konami following the completion of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain; on April 26, 2015, reports surfaced from del Toro, Reedus, and an anonymous tip to a video game news website that Silent Hills had been cancelled. The next day, Konami officially confirmed the cancellation of the game.

In March 2015, sources reported that due to conflicts with Konami, Kojima and his senior staff planned to leave Konami following the completion of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Concurrently, Konami announced a restructuring of its video game business, and removed references to Kojima and Kojima Productions from the promotional materials for its games. A Konami spokesperson denied that Kojima was leaving the company, and stated that he would still be involved with Konami and the Metal Gear franchise.

At a San Francisco Film Society event on April 26, 2015, assistant director Guillermo del Toro reportedly told attendees that Silent Hills had been cancelled. The next day, Norman Reedus also made statements on Twitter stating that the game had been cancelled. The same day, Konami announced that P.T. would be pulled from PlayStation Store on April 29, 2015, and Polygon reported that an anonymous tip by a person familiar with the game's development had also confirmed the game's cancellation. On April 27, 2015, Konami issued a statement to Kotaku confirming that Silent Hills "would not be continued", but that they planned to continue the Silent Hill franchise. Fans upset by the cancellation later started a petition over at Change.org asking for Konami to continue the project that as of May 4 2015 recieved over 126,560 fans signing it.
