To say the least, the Silent Hill franchise seems to be back on our screens for good. An interview between Konami and GamesRadar+ at Gamescom 2026 revealed some interesting information.

In fact, the Japanese publisher wants to increase the franchise’s presence in the gaming world even further and is aiming for a new game every year. Furthermore, they also plan to diversify and move away from the franchise’s original setting, the dilapidated state of Maine (in the U.S.).

"If we stay laser-focused on the same American setting, that would exhaust [narrative] possibilities, and also potentially cause fatigue for the playerbase."

These are the words of Motoi Okamoto, the franchise’s producer. Furthermore, all the main installments released over the past decade have been developed by studios around the world, other than Konami. The publisher allows developers to adapt the franchise to their needs and has no plans to change this approach. He continues:

"There are still many projects that are still under 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. 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."

As a reminder, the upcoming title, Silent Hill Townfall, is scheduled for release on PC and PS5 this September 24, with the XBOX Series version set for release in 2027.
