To watch the Silent Hill Transmission live this Thursday, you’ll have to tune into the official YouTube account for Silent Hill. A video placeholder for the showcase has not yet been set by Konami, but I will embed it above once video is available.

What to expect from the Silent Hill Transmission

For now, Konami is just saying that it will “share game updates, a deeper look at the film, and new merch” during the Silent Hill Transmission. The film referenced is Return to Silent Hill, which is helmed by the director of the 2006 Silent Hill film, Christophe Gans. It was filmed last year and was previewed at the Cannes Film Festival, so a release seems somewhat imminent. Its story is based on that of Silent Hill 2; hopefully, we’ll learn more about that during the show.

On the video game front, Bloober Team encouraged people to tune in, as it’s likely that we’ll get an update on the Silent Hill 2 remake that is set for release sometime in 2024. Hopefully, we’ll also get updates on other upcoming games in the series, such as Annapurna Interactive’s Silent Hill: Townfall and NeoBards Entertainment’s Silent Hill f. There are bound to be some surprises as well, so Silent Hill fans will definitely want to tune into this showcase on May 30.

Blizzard Entertainment has had an eventful year. Following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the studio has seen the successful releases of World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred but also had to deal with mass layoffs and the release of Jason Schreier's revealing book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment. To cap off this hectic year, and in lieu of its traditional BlizzCon event, Blizzard Entertainment is holding a Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct livestream this week.

Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is the game that put Blizzard on the map, and it was first released on November 15, 1994. Thirty years later, the franchise has expanded with games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Warcraft Rumble. Now, Blizzard is going to celebrate them all during a single livestream. It's something that Warcraft fans will certainly want to tune into. For those interested, I've rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch the Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct and what you should expect from it.
When is the Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct?
The Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct will begin at 10 a.m. PT on November 13. Blizzard has not said how long the Direct will last, but has confirmed that a World of Warcraft: 20 Years of Music concert will air right after the show concludes.

Silent Hill 2 remake players just discovered a huge secret

One of the most confounding additions to the Silent Hill 2 remake are the Polaroid photos you find throughout the game. They're abstract, often depicting blurry close-ups of things like flowers, footprints, dirty walls, and other hard to dentify objects. They work as a collectible, but the game doesn't offer an explanation. However, one Reddit user seems to have cracked the code. Not only do they feature a secret message, but it seems to confirm a longtime fan theory about the nature of Silent Hill and protagonist James Sunderland's story.

A post on the Silent Hill subreddit by user DaleRobinson breaks down the actual code hidden across each photo. If you look at the numbers on the back of each photo and line them up in numerical order, you'll spot a pattern. Each photo has up to six subjects. If you count the letters based on the number of objects, record a letter. Go through all 26 and it'll spell out a message: "You've been here for two decades."
