The fog hasn’t lifted for Silent Hill—and Konami doesn’t want it to anytime soon.

Riding the momentum of Silent Hill 2 and the recently released Silent Hill f, Konami is now setting its sights on turning the legendary horror franchise into an annual event. According to series producer Motoi Okamoto, the publisher’s goal is to release a new Silent Hill title every single year.

Speaking as part of Japanese outlet 4Gamer’s annual year-end feature—where 194 Japanese developers were asked about their ambitions for 2026—Okamoto revealed that the series is finally “back on track.” With that stability, Konami is aiming for a steady release cadence moving forward.

“Following the release of Silent Hill 2 in October 2024, we were able to deliver Silent Hill f in September 2025, and the Silent Hill series has begun to get back on track,” Okamoto explained. “Including both announced and unannounced titles, we’re aiming for a release pace of about one title per year.”

While Okamoto admitted that not every plan may fully materialize, his intention is clear: keep the nightmare alive and the fanbase engaged at all times. “Ideally, we’d like to keep excitement around the Silent Hill series going continuously,” he added, promising more updates in the near future.

This long-term vision lines up with earlier comments Okamoto made to Inverse, where he discussed expanding the franchise beyond its traditional settings. After Silent Hill f’s Japanese backdrop, Okamoto suggested the series could explore other regions steeped in unique belief systems—ranging from Central and South America’s shamanistic traditions to countries like Russia, Italy, or South Korea.

Following Konami’s massive Silent Hill revival announcement three years ago, the only remaining unreleased project is No Code Games and Annapurna Interactive’s Silent Hill: Townfall. While no release date has been officially confirmed, a 2026 launch would neatly fit Konami’s newly stated goal of one game per year.

And if you’re craving Silent Hill outside the gaming space, the franchise’s cinematic return is right around the corner. Christophe Gans is back behind the camera with Return to Silent Hill, which hits theaters on January 23 via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting.

Looks like the town’s siren won’t be going quiet anytime soon.
