Night In The Woods Follow-Up Revenant Hill Cancelled Due To Dev Health Issues
08.11.2023 - 10:45 / thegamer.com
Night in the Woods co-creators and married couple Bethany Hockenberry and Scott Benson opened a studio in 2019 called The Glory Society. Its first project was to be a spiritual successor by the name of Revenant Hill. However, the game has now been cancelled due to Benson's "serious health issues".
Unfortunately, recent serious health issues have necessitated two key members stepping away from the project indefinitely. We are a small team and we each wear multiple hats. This is a loss of several hard-to-replace hats in an environment where all hats are needed.
Given the realities of schedules, budgets, and the fraught task of reworking the whole project within those parameters, the team has amicably decided to suspend operations. For all intents and purposes, this is the end of the development of Revenant Hill.
There's no word as of yet on whether this is the end of the studio, but the statement does mention that "Glory was a project in and of itself", using the past tense. There have been no further updates on social media or its website beyond this letter to clarify.
However, Benson penned his own tweet shortly after the statement went live. "Over the past 12 months or so, I got very sick and it didn't go away," Benson wrote. "Eventually I was diagnosed with severe heart failure, most likely from a virus. It will continue to greatly limit me for the foreseeable future and as such I've had to stop working in the manner I once did.
"And hey also shout out to my wife/creative partner for being a complete hero through all of this. Seriously I'm likely only alive right now because of her. Bethany is the best. Past few months are a blur of hospitals, doctors, tests, procedures, exciting new medications, and so, so much blood drawn. I'm sad about all of this. But on my end getting too upset about it is like getting angry at bad weather."
If you've played Night in the Woods, Revenant Hill's art style will be instantly recognisable. However, instead of humanoid animals in contemporary Pennsylvania, the game is set in 1919, following Twigs the cat who takes up residence in an abandoned graveyard. But the owl nearby demands rent, so Twigs has to get to work growing crops and using the secret market. There are also, of course, strange ghosts. It's a graveyard, after all.
It's unclear how far along the game was, though it was only announced in May during the PlayStation Showcase. Regardless, the fanbase it did build in that time has showered the studio and Benson with support.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Devs Explain Why They Are Not Updating Fans
Silent Hill fans have waited for what felt like an eternity for Konami to return the franchise. When Hideo Kojima unveiled that he would revive the IP with Silent Hills, things looked up. However, abruptly, the famed developer parted ways with Konami, and thus, the game project was canceled. Since then, it has been back in waiting, but fortunately, last year, we finally got the grand revival announcement. Konami was going to bring back Silent Hill in a big way with several game projects and even a new movie installment. One of those game projects in the works was a remake of Silent Hill 2.
