“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.”
One new game per year sounds like a steep challenge, but Konami’s initial plans for the series’ revival may already have them set for at least the next two years. 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.
Yes they basically made a game called f. Really nothing to with Silent Hill. Not the game play, not the story, not the presentation. No inner narrative horror, no lynchian underpinnings. It switched from internal to external pressures for the character.
In a way, I suppose that’s fine. Its a story in a different lens, not really a Silent Hill lens, but ok lets go with it.
Then they changed the gameplay. This is not a silent hill style at all. Forced repetition and combat loops. Stamina. Arena style game play. Well there goes the psychological and horror aspect AND they didnt even do it very well.
If you want to compare old video games, it is like Doki Doki Panic. Mario 2 in name only.
