Konami Explains 2022 Multi-Game Silent Hill Reveal as Pledge to the Series’ Future

Producer Motoi Okamoto says the strategy aimed to reassure fans about long-term plans for the franchise.

Overview

  • Okamoto says announcing multiple projects together was intended to show a firm commitment to reviving Silent Hill rather than testing the waters.
  • The 2022 Transmission unveiled a Silent Hill 2 remake, Silent Hill f, and Silent Hill: Townfall in a single broadcast.
  • He adds that remakes must target newcomers as well as returning fans, noting that only about half of legacy players typically come back.
  • Since the reveal, the Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill f have earned strong reviews and a positive response from fans.
  • Townfall remains in development at NoCode, now Screen Burn, while the separate Ascension series was widely criticized despite an Emmy for innovation.
