Konami wants annual Silent Hill games and is working on “many” unannounced projects

Konami wants to make Silent Hill an annual franchise.

That’s according to franchise producer Motoi Okamoto at Gamescom 2026.

“Our aim is to, hopefully, have an annual release of new games,” Okamoto told GamesRadar+.

The Japanese and Scottish settings of Silent Hill f and the upcoming Silent Hill: Townfall are no accident either, and the series has been moving away from its original setting on purpose. “If we stay laser-focused on the same American setting, that would exhaust [narrative] possibilities, and also potentially cause fatigue for the playerbase,” Okamoto explained.

In order to make Silent Hill an annual franchise, multiple games will need to be developed simultaneously, and that’s something Konami already has underway. “There are still many projects that are still under the works and very unannounced titles,” he continues. “So obviously, we can’t go into specifics. But there are still many projects that we are currently exploring and working on as we speak.

“We would like to let players know that we have more experiences coming up, and many types of games that, we believe, will be able to provide positive kinds of surprises for players waiting for this for the series.”

VGC’s Jordan Middler played Silent Hill: Townfall and said, “After I left the hands-off demo of Silent Hill: Townfall, it was hard to think about much else. The elephant in the room is that as a Scottish person, it’s novel to see my country represented, but not only that, represented so authentically.”

Earlier in August, Konami released nearly 20 minutes of new Silent Hill: Townfall gameplay footage.
