Konami Stock (9766) Jumps on Silent Hill Remake Announcement

Konami (JP:9766) stock jumped on Friday after the video game company announced a remake of Silent Hill, the first title in its long-running horror game series. This remake will be handled by Bloober Team, the development studio behind the 2024 remake of Silent Hill 2. Additionally, NeoBards Entertainment is working on a new entry in the series, titled Silent Hill f, set to be released on Sept. 25, 2025.
Confident Investing Starts Here:
Konami didn't reveal much in the way of details about its Silent Hill remake. However, it could be a huge success for the company if it follows in the footsteps of the Silent Hill 2 remake. The video game developer is taking a page out of Capcom's (CCOEF) book, which has attracted gamers with its remakes of Resident Evil games.
It makes sense that Konami would want to cash in on the recent success Capcom has seen, and Silent Hill is the perfect way to do it. Both Silent Hill and Resident Evil started on Sony's (SONY) original PlayStation back in the 90s and spawned a large collection of sequels and spinoffs. If there's any series out there that can rival Resident Evil, it's Silent Hill.
Konami Stock Movement Today
Investors appear pleased with Konami's plans to remake Silent Hill. Shares of 9766 jumped 2.52% on the news alongside a trading volume that was roughly double the company's three-month daily average. The recent rally also extended positive 2025 movement for Konami, with shares up 39.36% year-to-date.
Is Konami Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for Konami is Strong Buy, based on four Buy and a single Hold rating over the past three months. With that comes an average 9766 price target of ¥20,168, representing a potential 1.74% downside for the shares.

You may have access to hundreds of free games you're not taking advantage of

Ever since Nintendo was the first to breach the $80 threshold for games with Mario Kart World, the concerns over game prices have been top of mind across the industry. Between tariffs, inflation, cost of living, and what appears to be an inevitable recession right around the corner, I have already been preparing for how I can be a more discerning consumer of games. There are tons of ways to be more thrifty with our favorite hobby. You can wait for sales, trade and borrow games, rely more on subscription services like PlayStation Plus and Game Pass, or just stick to the wealth of free-to-play games. But there's one resource I never see brought up that could give you access to a huge library of major titles for free: your local library. Recommended Videos If you haven't been to a library in years like I hadn't, it may come as a surprise to learn that many have grown some impressive video game catalogues in addition to books, manga, and movies. I can vaguely recall a few people mentioning that libraries had started carrying video games over the years, but I always assumed it would be some small corner with half a dozen Xbox 360 cases that may or may not have a working disc inside. This past weekend I was once again reminded about libraries being a resource for games and finally decided to see just how viable they were for someone who wants to save money but still have access to new releases. Now, this will all depend on what your local library carries, but I was shocked to see the quality and quantity of games offered even in my mid-sized Colorado town. It took a minute to figure out how to navigate my local branch's website to just show video games, but once I did, I was greeted with a list of over 200 games in stock between the PS4 and PS5 generations. And these aren't purely educational or obscure titles, either. Games like Doom: The Dark Ages, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Assassin's Creed: Shadows are all available for PS5 and Xbox Series X at my local branch, with most of 2025's earlier big hitters accounted for, too. Looking through all the pages of games online, I have already compiled a list of games I wasn't able to get to at the time and can now easily pick up at my leisure with nothing but a scan of my library card. This isn't the ultimate hack to play every game you want for free with no strings attached. Everything has drawbacks, and in this case you will have to be okay with waiting a few weeks or a month after a big game comes out before your library gets it. It will be on a case-by-case basis in terms of what games your library will get, but at least in my area they post a list of upcoming games they plan to get and I can make requests to the staff as well. There's also the fact that you may not be the only person privy to this service and someone else might check the game out first. Even with those caveats, you can't beat the prospect of free game rentals in this day and age. Libraries might seem antiquated in this day and age, but they are incredibly important community institutions. They provide tons of resources and programs for people in their communities and ask for nothing in return. Most libraries get funding based on how often they are used, so you can know that you're helping support the people around you while also getting to play great games at no cost. While you're there, I also suggest checking out some of those events. My local library, for example, has weekly Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader and virtual tabletop RPG groups I had no idea existed so you might be surprised. With all the factors at play in the world, everyone is looking for ways to somehow save money without giving up the things we love. If you have a library nearby, I highly suggest adding it as one more tool in your toolbox for keeping your passion for games alive when you might otherwise be priced out.

‘Monster Hunter Wilds' Collapses With 1% Of Launch Players, 82% Negative Reviews

Monster Hunter Wilds While Monster Hunter Wilds received a lot of praise at launch, the longer-term fortunes of the game four months later have been dismal. Both review sentiment and playercount have collapsed. On Steam, recent reviews are just 18% positive, giving the game the dreaded Overwhelmingly Negative classification and dropping its overall reviews to 'mixed.' Playercount is even crazier. Monster Hunter Wilds now has fewer concurrent players on Steam than the seven-year-old, 2018 Monster Hunter World, which fans have deemed the superior long-term game. The negative reviews are largely split into two camps. The first is the fact that PC performance is horrible, and for many, seemingly getting worse over time with Capcom's fixes failing or not coming fast enough, even months after release. Here's one excerpt: That seems to be the more pressing issue, but further complaints highlight a lacking endgame that has not been expanded enough over time, despite Capcom's stated plans to add more interesting and engaging content. Speaking from personal experience, as someone who sunk maybe 10 total hours into past Monster Hunter games, I found myself reaching the end, grinding the best gear, and running out of stuff to do relatively quickly into what was supposed to be the endgame. Despite some new monsters and new difficulty increases, it's just not enough, and so fans are heading back to Monster Hunter World. Monster Hunter Wilds Wilds launched with 1.38 million concurrent players. It's now peaking at around 17,000 a day, around 1.23% of launch. Some may now cite the old 'you can't judge a game's playercount this far after launch' idea, but yes, in this case, you absolutely can. As evidenced by Worlds, the seven-year-old game, this is a series meant to be played and grinded for an extremely long time. Dropping to 1% of its playercount just four months after release, and below Worlds, is absolutely abysmal; there's just no getting around that. Monster Hunter Wilds will be releasing its second title update at the end of this month. Title Update 1 briefly tripled the game's players but soon lost them, and sentiment around the game has gotten increasingly worse since then. Unless this new update comes with a huge amount of fixes and content, it's unlikely to reverse the game's fortunes, and Capcom needs to pull back and figure out what went wrong here and how to truly fix it.
