Just wondering, shouldn't the thread title be "Silent Hill" and not "Silent Hills"?
There's actually a plausible reason for the modified title. From the SH wiki (sourced from Eurogamer):
7780 Studios received its name from the square kilometer area of Shizuoka, a Japanese prefecture which literally translates to "Quiet Hills". Many Japanese people simply refer to the horror game series as Shizuoka.
Since SH has been nicknamed as "Shizuoka" by Japanese players, the game title and fake studios' name sort of acts as a call-back/inside joke for the Japanese fans of the franchise. Whether or not the title will actually lead to anything plot-related is currently unknown.
