Expect plenty more Silent Hill over the next few years, as Konami has plans for 'second and third waves' of new games in its revived horror series

Silent Hill's resurrection is one of the happier stories to emerge from the games industry in recent years. After spending roughly a decade locked in a Konami cupboard, Silent Hill has received three new entries published by Konami in as many years, all of which arrived to positive reviews and, seemingly, healthy sales. But if Silent Hill 2 Remake, Silent Hill f, and Silent Hill: Townfall still haven't satisfied your craving for allegorical horror in foggy towns, fret not, because Konami has plenty more plans for the series' ongoing revival.

In an interview featured in Famitsu (via IGN), Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto explained that Konami is "relieved" by both the critical and commercial reception to the aforementioned three games. "All three titles we initially announced were able to be released successfully," Okamoto said, adding that, "they've also received high praise, and we are satisfied with it."

Okamoto went on to say that the games released so far only represent the "first wave" of Konami's planned games for the series, and that there's not one but two additional waves on the drawing board. "Successfully launching this 'first wave' comes with great relief, but we're not stopping here; we must think of the second and third waves," Okamoto stated. "We can't share specific details, but we're currently looking at a number of projects."

It's a very different situation from where Silent Hill was only a few years ago. During the chat, Okamoto revealed that persuading Konami's executive to pursue new entries in the series has been challenging, especially after the cancellation of Hideo Kojima's Silent Hills in 2015.
