Silent Hill Producer Confirms 'Many Projects' Are In Active Development as Konami Aims for New Release Every Year

Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto says that Konami is gunning for annual releases of new games in its flagship horror franchise. Okamoto divulged this news in an interview with Gamesradar at Gamescom 2026, explaining that Konami is looking for fresh takes on the well-trodden beats of the Silent Hill series to keep it from stagnating. "Our aim is to, hopefully, have an annual release of new games," he told the outlet. “If we stay laser-focused on the same American setting, that would exhaust [narrative] possibilities, and also potentially cause fatigue for the playerbase." Okamoto also confirmed that several unannounced Silent Hill projects are currently in development. "There are still many projects that are still [in] the works and very unannounced titles. 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,” he said. "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."
