With high-profile franchises like Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, Contra, Pro Evolution Soccer, and many more, Konami has become one of the most beloved companies among gamers. However, it seems that his best years are behind him. Will his reputation improve in the future? Bloober Team is confident that this will be the case.
During a recent chat with the IGN portal (via ComicBook), Piotr Babieno, executive director of Bloober Team, spoke about issues related to the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake and the future of the developer studio. At one point in the conversation, he spoke out about the bad reputation that Konami currently has.
It’s no secret to anyone that the Japanese company earned the hatred of many fans for releasing fewer and fewer quality games and focusing on other businesses. In addition, decisions such as canceling high-profile projects and distancing himself from figures like Hideo Kojima earned him many detractors. The cherry on the cake? Enter the controversial world of NFTs. However, will he regain the confidence of the players?

In case you missed it: Will Bloober Team work on more Silent Hill? The study responds
“The people who are in charge of Konami Gaming right now, of course I can’t tell you the details, but I think they understand how video games work. They come from companies that have worked on a lot of great projects, and I’m pretty sure they made good decisions about their partners and projects. And I understand that people are a little angry with Konami for the things that happened in the past, but I would like to say: give them time, because they know what they are doing, “said Babieno.
We must remember that Bloober Team is currently working on Silent Hill 2 Remake, the new version of the 2001 Japanese horror classic. In addition, other studios are in charge of more franchise titles. Will that be enough to win back the trust of the fans?
