Last fall, Konami brought the Silent Hill franchise back in a big way – announcing several new games from studios all over the world. Apparently, the door is still open for more too.
During an interview with IGN, series producer Motoi Okamoto explained that Konami is open to Silent Hill pitches from game studios worldwide.
“There’s only so much we can do ourselves, which means we need to work with lots of different indie creators if we want to make lots of different [Silent Hill games],” Okamoto said. “That’s why we made moves to work together with people around the world who want to make Silent Hill games and approached Bloober Team, as well as Anapurna Interactive and No Code.”
“Unfortunately, there are some projects that never actually got off the ground. Still, I think the number of projects we have will only continue to grow,” Okamoto continues. “The fact we were reviving Silent Hill was a secret until now, so we couldn’t exactly go out and yell, ‘Hey, everyone! Bring us your Silent Hill projects!’ We can do that now, so if creators from around the world who love Silent Hill bring us their pitches, I promise to look through every one of them. We’re all ears.”
Some of the Silent Hill games currently in production include a remake of Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill f, and Silent Hill: Townfall. There’s also a mysterious title called Silent Hill: The Short Message, which has yet to be formally announced but received formal product ratings in multiple countries.
