- Silent Hill producer has revealed why Konami announced multiple games at once.
- He says they wanted to show that they are committed and serious towards the franchise.
- This paid off as both the releases have since gone on to make millions in profits.
The Silent Hill franchise has seen a massive revival with its recent releases. Konami’s horror franchise was on a long break, after which the company finally revealed multiple Silent Hill games right at the same time.
Konami says that announcing Silent Hill 2 Remake, Silent Hill f, and Townfall was a strategic move as it wanted to make sure that the audience knows that they’re serious about the franchise, and it is quite visible now.
Why it matters: Both the recent releases have been hits, selling millions of copies. This shows that fans are committed to the franchise, and Konami wants to capitalize on it.
In a recent X post, Silent Hill producer, Motoi Okamoto, reflected on the time when they announced the return of the franchise. He wrote that they announced all of them at once because they wanted to show their commitment.
He continued that if the users don’t foresee a future for a series, they won’t be engaged by it. The decision really helped the studio, as many old fans and new players also became interested in the Silent Hill games after the remake’s release.
The move paid off big time based on the success of Silent Hill f and Silent Hill 2. Moreover, they have already revealed even more plans, including the first Silent Hill remake and experimental new projects going forward.
This seems to be a general approach Konami is taking for its older franchises, as it did the same for Metal Gear Solid as well. As long as the fans remain interested and the games are great, there won’t be any complaints.
