If there is one horror franchise that refuses to stay buried, it is Silent Hill. For years, the series existed mostly in memories and late night conversations among fans who never quite stopped hoping for its return. Now, that return is no longer theoretical. Following the critical and commercial success of the Silent Hill 2 and the more recent Silent Hill f, Konami appears to have regained confidence in one of its most iconic properties.
According to the series’ producer Motoi Okamoto, Silent Hill is officially “back on track,” and Konami wants to keep it that way. The publisher is now aiming to release a new Silent Hill title almost every year going forward. While that sounds ambitious for a franchise built on slow burn horror and psychological tension, the early signs suggest that Konami is laying the groundwork for a long term revival rather than a one off nostalgia push.

Speaking to Japanese publication Famitsu, Okamoto explained that the release cadence is part of a broader strategy to keep Silent Hill relevant. After rebuilding trust with the Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill f, Konami now wants to maintain momentum by delivering consistent releases, including both announced and unannounced projects.
At least one new Silent Hill game is expected in 2026, with annual releases planned beyond that if development timelines allow. One of the most likely candidates is Silent Hill: Townfall, a project announced back in 2022 and being developed by No Code in collaboration with Annapurna Interactive. While official updates have been scarce, a now deleted retail listing hinted at a possible March 2026 launch window.
Konami is also working with Bloober Team on a remake of the original Silent Hill, following the same modernised approach used for Silent Hill 2. That project is believed to be further along than expected and could land sometime after Townfall. Together, these releases would comfortably fill Konami’s stated goal of one Silent Hill experience per year, at least for the next few years.
While Konami has not officially announced a Silent Hill 3 remake, there has been talk of the game in the last few days. And Konami’s new annual release strategy makes the idea feel far more realistic than before. Moreover, a remake of Silent Hill 1 was confirmed recently and will reportedly launch sometime in 2027.
So, if the Silent Hill 1 remake is targeting a 2027 release, a Silent Hill 3 remake could arrive sometime in 2028 or early 2029. The game is also expected to target PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, along with PC. Pricing is expected to align with modern AAA releases, which would put it in the Rs 4,999 to Rs 5,699 range in India depending on the edition and platform. However, since nothing has been made official yet, it would be wise for an announcement from Konami.
