During its June 2025 Press Start Live showcase, Konami surprised fans with the reveal of a brand-new IP titled Darwin’s Paradox. While details remain scarce, the brief announcement hinted at a sci-fi horror setting, suggesting a deep, psychological narrative wrapped in a futuristic mystery. The announcement trailer featured cryptic visuals and ominous narration, immediately drawing comparisons to Metal Gear’s philosophical undertones and Silent Hill’s unsettling atmosphere.
While no release date or platform confirmation has been shared yet, early speculation suggests Darwin’s Paradox may target next-gen platforms like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Konami’s recent push to revive its horror legacy—through the Silent Hill remakes and now with a brand-new property—signals a strong return to form for the publisher. With Konami re-entering the high-concept narrative space, Darwin’s Paradox could mark the start of a bold new franchise.
