Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto says Konami is looking at "a number of projects" after the first wave of new Silent Hill games.

Talking to Famitsu, Okamoto said Konami was already thinking about what comes after its first run of new Silent Hill games, teasing "second and third waves" of releases.

"All three titles we initially announced were able to be released successfully, so we're relieved (laughs)," he noted. "They've also received high praise, and we are satisfied with it.

"Successfully launching this 'first wave' comes with great relief, but we're not stopping here; we must think of the second and third waves. We can't share specific details, but we're currently looking at a number of projects."

Interesting, Okamoto also hinted that it had taken some time to convince Konami execs, stressing that "one remake is not enough".

"As a producer, I cannot let it end only with that," he said. "If there were only one release, wouldn't people think that the development is going to be cancelled again, I thought."

Silent Hill: Townfall is out now. We awarded it four out of five stars in Eurogamer's Silent Hill: Townfall review , writing: "Silent Hill: Townfall is, though, an often phenomenal ride; reverent to its roots, rich with ideas, and yes, properly unnerving too. And there is, I think, some pleasing symmetry in the fact the two grandaddies of the survival horror genre - Resident Evil and Silent Hill - have bookended the year with their own distinctive highs; one with a warm eye to the past, the other taking bolder, more experimental strides".
