Silent Hill art director and monster designerMasahiro Ito retweeted the announcement, if that counts for anything.
There have beenrumors of multiple studios working on Silent Hill games, seeminglyconfirmed by Christophe Gans, director of the Silent Hill movie. There wereleaked images hit by a DMCA strike from Konami, suggestions that Bloober Team (developer of The Medium) wasmaking a Silent Hill game, perhaps aremake of Silent Hill 2, and something calledSilent Hill: The Short Messagewas rated by South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee last month.

Whatever it turns out to be, it’ll be broadcast at 2pm PT/10pm BST on October 19, which is 8am AEST on October 20.
