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, the horror series resurrected by Konami, is set to receive a second and third wave of new games in the coming years. After a decade-long hiatus, the series has seen three successful releases in just a few years, all of which have received positive reviews and sales. However, producer Motoi Okamoto revealed that the three games released so far only mark the beginning of a two-wave plan for the series.

Okamoto expressed relief at the reception to the first wave of games, stating that they are now focused on developing additional titles. Despite the challenges faced in securing executive approval, such as the cancellation of Hideo Kojima's Silent Hills in 2015, Okamoto remains optimistic about the series' future. Additionally, Bloober Team is currently working on remaking the 1999 original Silent Hill, an intriguing challenge given its simpler narrative compared to the legendary sequel.
