The Legendary Horror Series is Reborn on the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION3 System with Haunting Visuals, a Psychologically Intense Storyline, and an Evolved Combat System

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) - July 11, 2007 - Konami Digital
Entertainment, Inc., today announced Silent Hill 5 (working title) for the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system. Silent
Hill 5 marks the debut of the renowned psychological horror series on next-generation consoles. The
game thrusts players into a shadowy world of chaos and terror with atmospheric high definition graphics
and an original storyline that sheds new light on the desolate, fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill.

Silent Hill 5 marks the return of the series that has become one of the leading horror franchises in the
world, launching a number of hit entertainment products, including a successful and acclaimed motion
picture. The game follows Alex Shepherd, a war veteran returning home from an overseas tour of duty to
investigate the mysterious disappearance of his younger brother, Joshua. His travels will lead him
through the small, insular community of Shepherd's Glen and eventually through the hauntingly empty
streets of Silent Hill.

Building upon the series' trademark foundations of atmosphere, adventure and storytelling, Silent Hill 5
introduces players to a frightening new experience. When confronted by the perverse incarnations of evil
that roam Silent Hill and Shepherd's Glen, players will be able to utilize an enhanced combat system and
execute a number of offensive and defensive maneuvers as they experience every terrifying encounter
with the game's numerous nightmarish creatures. Players will also have to solve a variety of puzzles as
they progress through the highly atmospheric game world, using cues from the environment to unlock
Silent Hill's darkest secrets. Continuing the series' tradition of standout music and sound design, Silent
Hill 5 features an original soundtrack by famed composer Akira Yamaoka.

"Silent Hill 5 is an international, cross-cultural production, with leading development talent from around
the globe collaborating to raise the bar even higher for this incredible series," said Brian Christian, Vice
President of Product Development at Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "With gritty graphics and sound
that create a haunting atmosphere to all-new visceral gameplay elements, Silent Hill 5 truly epitomizes
the extent to which next-generation hardware can enhance the player's overall gaming experience."
Silent Hill 5 is planned for release on the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 in 2008. For more information
