The Silent Hill franchise is about to experience an uptick in production as it moves to a yearly-release game. After the success of Silent Hill F, which was released back in September 2025, Konami might see an opportunity to continue its success in other Silent Hill franchise games in the upcoming years. In a comment made to Famitsu (via Polygon), the series producer, Motoi Okamoto, shared that players should expect a new Silent Hill game starting in 2026: “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 is now back on track,” series producer Motoi Okamoto told Famitsu. “We aim to release about one title per year, including both announced and unannounced titles. We’re not sure how far we can achieve this, but we’ll do our best as the producer of the Silent Hill series. Ideally, we’d like to keep the buzz around Silent Hill constant.” While the actual production timeline is vague, there has been speculation that the next two Silent Hill games are already underway. In the Polygon article, they note: Konami first announced Silent Hill: Townfall, from Annapurna Interactive and BAFTA-winning Stories Untold developer No Code, during the big Silent Hill broadcast in 2022. Complete silence has surrounded the project since then, though a now-deleted retail listing from department store giant Liverpool Mexico suggested Townfall would launch in March 2026.

Having a yearly release on a sole game franchise can be risky as production quality may decline in order to meet deadlines. Many fans online are comparing this sentiment to the Call of Duty franchise where a new game is produced each year with mixed results. As stated by Okamoto, no one really knows how long Konami can keep a yearly timeline but they are adamant to try.
