- Game producer says each future entry in the Silent Hill series will be different.
- He says they want to experiment with the IP and be ambitious about every release.
- They want to be bold with Silent Hill games so they don’t get repetitive.
Konami recently launched Silent Hill f to a great reception from both critics and audience. It is quite different from the recent titles, but the new formula worked. However, the studio wants to take a different route with its future entries.
In a recent interview, the game’s producer said that each future Silent Hill game will be different from the other. They aim to continue experimenting and remain ambitious with every future release in the series.
Why it matters: Konami doesn’t want the series to fall flat like some others, where the games look like the reskins of previous entries; therefore, they want to experiment and keep on changing things.
Talking to IGN, Motoi Okamoto talked about Konami’s horror series. He admitted he thought Silent Hill f would get mixed reviews based on some of its challenging aspects, but in the end, it got a mostly positive reception.
Each one will have its own distinct flavor. We want to keep experimenting and be ambitious, both in terms of gameplay design and storytelling.

Despite the success, the studio doesn’t want to use the same formula for future games; instead, they want to do things differently. All next releases will be more ambitious than others, both in terms of gameplay and storytelling.
This probably won’t apply to the remakes, as we saw that Silent Hill 2 was quite faithful to the original. Instead, it would be for the newer entries. This makes sense too, as it’ll keep the players on the edge of their seats.
However, at the core of each game will be a psychological story, as that is what defines a Silent Hill game. Nonetheless, fans are more invested in the series than ever and will be looking forward to future titles.
