Konami Already Planning "Second and Third Waves" of 'Silent Hill' Entries
Motoi Okamoto said Konami is looking at several projects after three recent releases were well received.
- Producer Motoi Okamoto confirmed Konami is planning "second and third waves" of new Silent Hill games, aiming to launch a new entry annually following the successful debut of its initial trilogy.
- Following the successful launch of the "first wave," which included the Silent Hill 2 remake, Silent Hill f, and last month's Silent Hill: Townfall, the team feels relieved and satisfied with the high praise received.
- "Just one remake is not enough," Okamoto added, fearing that stopping production would make people think the franchise's development was being cancelled again after Hideo Kojima's failed Silent Hills project.
- Bloober Team is developing a remake of the 1999 original PlayStation game, expected to launch next year as part of Konami's commitment to annual Silent Hill releases.
- Konami continues collaborating with international studios to diversify the franchise, with future entries potentially exploring settings like Mexico, India, or Barry Island to expand the global appeal established by the first wave.
