Konami Confirms More New Silent Hill Games Are Coming

Konami producer Motoi Okamoto says new Silent Hill games are already being planned beyond the franchise’s current lineup, describing further “second and third waves” of titles still to come. The comment, made during recent interview discussions about the series, suggests the horror publisher sees its current slate of remakes, spin-offs and tie-in media as only the opening chapter of a much longer revival.

Okamoto did not name specific projects, platforms or release windows for these future waves. But the statement confirms what many fans had suspected since Konami relaunched the dormant franchise in 2022: this is a long-term, multi-year strategy rather than a short burst of nostalgia-driven releases.

What Okamoto actually said about new Silent Hill games

Okamoto, who has overseen the Silent Hill revival at Konami, framed the franchise’s current output as a first wave of projects that is still rolling out. His reference to second and third waves implies that development on additional, unannounced entries is already underway internally, even if none of it is ready for public reveal.

That kind of forward planning is notable for a franchise that spent roughly a decade in limbo after Hideo Kojima’s cancelled Silent Hills project and the shuttering of Kojima Productions’ involvement with Konami. For years, Silent Hill existed mostly as a licensing opportunity rather than an active development priority, so a producer openly discussing a third wave of titles marks a significant shift in how seriously Konami now treats the brand.

The first wave: how Silent Hill’s revival has played out so far

The current era of Silent Hill began in October 2022, when Konami used a dedicated broadcast to unveil several projects at once rather than a single game. That slate included Silent Hill 2 Remake, handled by Polish studio Bloober Team, which released in October 2024 to generally strong reviews and reintroduced James Sunderland’s story to a new generation of players with reworked combat and over-the-shoulder camera work.

Alongside the remake, Konami revealed Silent Hill f, a mainline entry set in 1960s Japan rather than the series’ usual American small-town backdrop, and Silent Hill Townfall, an original story developed by No Code and published through Annapurna Interactive. A free interactive teaser called Silent Hill: The Short Message also launched in 2024, alongside Silent Hill: Ascension, an episodic streaming series that let audiences influence the story in real time. A feature film, Return to Silent Hill, directed by original movie director Christophe Gans, rounds out what Okamoto now describes as the first wave.

Key projects in the current Silent Hill revival

Why a multi-wave strategy matters for the series

Spreading a revival across several waves rather than a single tentpole release lets Konami test different formats and audiences before committing further resources. A remake reassures longtime fans the brand is in safe hands, a streaming series courts viewers who might never pick up a controller, and a Japan-set mainline entry signals the publisher is willing to break from the series’ established geography. Each project effectively works as market research for what comes next.

Compared with rivals that have revived dormant horror franchises through a single high-profile release, such as Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes, Konami’s approach is broader but slower to reveal its full shape. That carries risk: without concrete details on the second and third waves, fans are left speculating rather than anticipating a confirmed product. It also means Konami can quietly shelve ideas that do not land well with players, since nothing beyond the first wave has been publicly committed to yet.

What it means for fans and the wider industry

For players, Okamoto’s comments are reassurance rather than news of a specific game. Nobody should expect an imminent reveal, and Konami has given no indication of a timeline for when the second wave might be detailed. What the statement does confirm is that the Silent Hill name is now viewed internally as a sustainable, ongoing business rather than a one-off nostalgia play.

That matters for an industry watching how publishers handle dormant horror IP. If Konami’s staged approach proves commercially successful, it offers a template other companies holding shelved franchises might follow: launch across multiple formats, measure audience response, then greenlight further entries based on what actually resonates. For now, Silent Hill fans have plenty to play, watch and read, with the promise that Konami considers the story far from finished.
