Silent Hill: The Short Message has been rated by South Korea's Game Rating committee, and it's possible this is a new unannounced Silent Hill game.  This news comes by way of Video Games Chronicle, which reported that the rating committee rated Silent Hill: The Short Message today. However, the rating did not include any platforms, so it's unclear where this game might land if it actually ends up being a real title. In fact, the rating features little else other than listing Uniana as its publisher. As VGC notes, this company regularly publishes Konami games in South Korea.  The publication also notes that Silent Hill: The Short Message might be related to one of various Silent Hill projects reportedly in the works at multiple different studios. VGC reported in February that Konami is planning a revival of the Silent Hill series...

Marvel has stepped up its gaming output these past few years. Following the success of Marvel's Spider-Man in 2018 by Insomniac Games, the team later announced Marvel's Spider-Man 2, due out sometime next year. Insomniac is also working on a Wolverine game.

There's also Crystal Dynamic's Marvel's Avengers, which is still getting content today, and last year's excellent Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.  All of this is to say that Marvel has been pumping out a steady stream of games with more to come. However, despite that, you shouldn't expect the company to create a connected universe like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to vice...
