"Following the release of Silent Hill 2 in October 2024, we were able to deliver Silent Hill f ​​in September 2025, and the Silent Hill series is now back on track," series producer Motoi Okamoto told Famitsu. "We aim to release about one title per year, including both announced and unannounced titles. We're not sure how far we can achieve this, but we'll do our best as the producer of the Silent Hill series. Ideally, we'd like to keep the buzz around Silent Hill constant."

One new game per year sounds like a steep challenge, but Konami's initial plans for the series' revival may already have them set for at least the next two years. Konami first announced Silent Hill: Townfall, from Annapurna Interactive and BAFTA-winning Stories Untold developer No Code, during the big Silent Hill broadcast in 2022. Complete silence has surrounded the project since then, though a now-deleted retail listing from department store giant Liverpool Mexico suggested Townfall would launch in March 2026.

Oh man, and they're gonna want to release in autumn, too, to be in time for spooky season. So, if it isn't done at that point, they're likely to release in an unfinished state rather than delay by a whole year...

Not that I clicked on the article, but the quote given by OP actually doesn't worry me too much. It feels too me like there is an appropriate level of caution here. I don't get the impression they're trying to do an Activision.

Resident Evil was near annual for a bit, and only the 3 remake do I really hear people complain about.

It's post-Kojima Konami. They'll find a way to screw any leftover IP up.
