Konami regrettably informs us that the latest installment in the Silent Hill series, the Western-developed Silent Hill: Homecoming, won’t be making its way to Japan following its North American release last year and European release earlier this year. Konami blames “assorted issues” for the lack of a Japanese release, yet says Japanese gamers can “look forward to future releases in the series.” Just not this one. Ever.
That doesn’t mean Japanese gamers are without hope, however. If you’ve got a PS3, you can pick up the US version of the game and play it on your Japanese PS3, since there’s no region protection. If you’ve got a Japanese Xbox 360 though, you’re out of luck. Also, you’re weird.
