Konami defined a clear goal for its historic horror saga:release a new Silent Hill every year. The plan is based on the franchise's recent strong performance and on a strategy of parallel developments.
After years of ups and downs, the series regained relevance with Silent Hill 2 Remake and Silent Hill f. That momentum allowed the Japanese publisher to plan an annual release schedule.

"Our goal is to release titles at a pace of approximately one per year", he explained. He clarified that the plan includes announced games and others that haven't been released yet.
Which Silent Hill games could arrive in the coming years?
Each installment is developed by adifferent team. That structure makes it possible to move forward with several projects simultaneously.
Within that framework appears Silent Hill Townfall, led by No Code, announced in 2022 and with a chance to arrive in 2026.
