Konami is planning “second and third waves” of new Silent Hill games, producer Motoi Okamoto said in a recent interview. The franchise’s first wave — the Silent Hill 2 remake, Silent Hill f, and Silent Hill: Townfall — has now shipped, ending a long drought without new entries, and Okamoto says the studio is already looking at “a number of projects” for what comes next. Here’s what we know so far: what Okamoto said about the series’ future, how the first wave came together after the collapse of Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hills, and why a remake of the original Silent Hill is already in the works.
Okamoto offered a foggy glimpse into the classic horror franchise’s future during a recent interview. The series ended a long, painful drought without new games with an initial wave of releases between 2024 and 2026, and now that this first batch is out, Konami is already looking forward to what it can do next.
“All three titles we initially announced were able to be released successfully, so we’re relieved (laughs),” he noted. “They’ve also received high praise, and we are satisfied with it.”
Okamoto continued: “Successfully launching this ‘first wave’ comes with great relief, but we’re not stopping here; we must think of the second and third waves. We can’t share specific details, but we’re currently looking at a number of projects.”
The first wave of Konami’s return to Silent Hill — which included the Silent Hill 2 remake (2024), Silent Hill f (2025), and most recently Silent Hill: Townfall, which arrived in September 2026 — rolled out over the past two years. Townfall dropped players into the shoes of protagonist Simon Ordell in a ’90s Scotland setting.
It received generally favorable reviews, including an 8/10 score, with one review writing:
Like the intravenous needle permanently jutting out of its hero’s wrist, Silent Hill: Townfall gives this long running series a welcome shot in the arm.
It’s a successful run of games that Konami is happy with, but getting here wasn’t easy. After Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hills failed to materialize, Okamoto said he had a hard time convincing higher-ups that more games was the way to go. However, as far as he was concerned, “just one remake is not enough,” adding, “as a producer, I cannot let it end only with that.”
“If there were only one release, wouldn’t people think that the development is going to be cancelled again, I thought,” Okamoto added.
While Konami’s plan to launch additional waves of Silent Hill games spells a promising future for fans who have missed the franchise, a continuation has been expected for some time. Bloober Team, the horror-centric developer behind the Silent Hill 2 remake, confirmed it was working on a remake of the original Silent Hill back in 2025.
