Oh lord, Konami need yearly Silent Hill video games alongside vaguely described “experiences,” simply do not let that be one other film

After a whole decade and not using a correct new Silent Hill recreation, up to now three years we have had two fully new video games (one in every of which was pretty damn good if you ask me), one remake, no matter Ascension was meant to be, and the laughably unhealthy new movie. A combined bunch, to make certain, however meals is meals, and Silent Hill lovers have been ravenous for extra. We’re a month away from the subsequent recreation within the horror sequence releasing, Silent Hill: Townfall, and in line with the franchise’s producer, you possibly can anticipate new video games fairly usually.

“Our intention is to, hopefully, have an annual launch of latest video games,” stated Motoi Okamoto in an interview with GamesRadar. That definitely has been true since 2024, although after Townfall there’s nothing publicly on the slate. Okamoto clears that up too although, saying, “There are nonetheless many tasks which are nonetheless beneath the works and really unannounced titles. So clearly, we will not go into specifics. However there are nonetheless many tasks that we’re at present exploring and dealing on as we converse.” Maybe post-release we anticipate a Silent Hill Direct or no matter they name their model of these issues.

Clearly one of many extra notable issues about each Silent Hill f and Townfall is that neither of them are set in America, as has been typical for the sequence. “If we keep laser-focused on the identical American setting, that might exhaust [narrative] prospects, and in addition doubtlessly trigger fatigue for the playerbase,” Okamoto explains on that entrance, which definitely appears to recommend we are able to anticipate future video games to be related. The producer additionally notes that not fixing the setting simply inside America permits devs to “work throughout the sorts of environments and the sorts of storytelling that works greatest for them.”

Okamoto additionally made be aware that there are “many sorts of video games” and “extra experiences” on the horizon, making it sound like Konami plan to proceed their multimedia exploits, regardless of how offensive Return to Silent Hill was to me personally. I am not so certain we do desperately want yearly Silent Hill video games although. As a lot as I’m enamoured by f, and really feel cautiously optimistic about Townfall, an over saturation might veer into an amazing quantity to deal with. Principally I simply don’t desire Christophe Gans going wherever close to the sequence once more, at the least give me that.
