The "Silent Hills" release date for PS4 is allegedly no more as Konami details why the Kojima productions logo was removed from the "Silent Hills" website.

Playstation Lifestyle has reported that Konami has revealed their reason as to why they removed the Hideo Kojima tagline and Kojima Productions logo from "Silent Hills".

"After removing the "A Hideo Kojima game" tagline and Kojima Productions logo from Metal Gear games on the series' website, the Kojima Productions logo has now been removed from the Silent Hills website," wrote Playstation Lifestyle.

Playstation Lifestyle "In a statement given following this discovery by GameSpot, Konami said: 'Konami has switched from a studio-based to a headquarters-based organization, so [Kojima Productions] wouldn't be listed as a studio anymore. At this time, there are no additional updates to share.'"

Previously, Gamespot has reported that Konami and Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions are going to part ways soon.

"After we finish MGSV, Mr. Kojima and upper management will leave Konami. They said their contract ends in December," says Gamespot's source.

Gamespot's source than stated, "At a team meeting, Mr Kojima explained that team have to be one and make a good game for fans."

Gamespot also reported that, "Kojima, now 51, joined Konami in 1986. His departure from the company will bring an end to nearly three decades of service. In other developments, Konami has begun erasing the Kojima Productions logo from all official Metal Gear art, and it has demoted Kojima off its executive team. Meanwhile, Kojima Productions' branding has also been removed from Twitter, the official Metal Gear website, and even the LA office listing."

And now, Cyberland claimed that the "Silent Hills" release date was allegedly effectively cancelled after the split between Kojima Productions and Konami became known. The report notes that the development of the game is jeopardy as Konami has the rights to "Silent Hills" but Kojima Productions won't let them use the Fox Engine to make the game.

"Silent Hills has been cancelled. Hideo Kojima did not allow Konami to use the Fox Engine to make the game and Konami has since put the game on ice and my sources tell me that the project is now effectively cancelled," wrote Cyberland.
