Konami to reveal new game from franchise 'loved around the world' at TGS 2022
Sources have indicated that the reveal is unlikely to be related to Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, or Silent Hill.
Konami has been in a lot of rumor mills in the past few years. After all, the Japanese developer and publisher still sits on some of the most beloved IP in the world and many fans would love to see something new. It’s slow going with a bit of promise here and there, but at Tokyo Game Show 2022, it seems Konami will have something new to show. Don’t get your hopes up too high for a new Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, or Castlevania reveal though. Sources close to the publisher have claimed it won’t be any of these often-rumored revivals.
Konami published its itinerary of events for Tokyo Game Show 2022 fairly recently. It was on this itinerary that a prominent “new release” announcement appeared. Titled “Konami new release announced,” the section will take place on September 16 at 3:30pm JST (11:30 p.m. PT / 2:30 p.m. ET).
“Voice actor Yuji Kaji will be invited as a guest to represent the fans of a series which is loved all over the world, on the announcement stage for a new Konami title,” the event reads.

Lest we get excited about the possibility of a Castlevania or Silent Hill reveal, it seems that’s not going to be the case here. Sources close to the publisher have claimed that Konami’s supposed revivals of Silent Hill, Metal Gear, and Castlevania are likely to be held for later events, such as The Game Awards 2022.
Yuji Kaji doesn’t provide many clues either. The voice actor has played numerous roles throughout movies, animated series, and video games, but one of his few Konami credits is Suikoden Tierkreis for the Nintendo DS in 2008, as well as Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki in 2012 on the PSP. A Suikoden game seems like a longshot among other possibilities. Konami also already revealed a new Bomberman game coming in 2023 in the form of Super Bomberman R 2.
It's not out of the question that Konami could tease new Silent Hill, Metal Gear, or Castlevania projects at Tokyo Game Show 2022, but what will actually be revealed remains a mystery. Stay tuned as we keep an eye out for new details and updates leading up to the TGS 2022 event.

Bomberman.

About time. Seems like we have to keep going back to TG, MegaDrive, Saturn era consoles for GOOD Bomberman experiences. My RPi is sat around for the sole purpose of playing Megadrive Bomberman with friends every now and then.
Would love to see a good modern version. But I suspect they’ll go too 3D and floaty and it’ll play like crap.
Please prove me wrong Konami!! -
What was the last "normal" Bomberman game?

This makes me feel simultaneously sad and old.

I am 100% down for a new 50 Cent game ala Blood on the Sand. That game was way more enjoyable than any of the other Gears clones at the time, and was one of the only games I did QA on that I never got tired of playing lol.
