Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto recently revealed he spends most of his spare time going through pitches to develop spin-offs or new entries to the franchise from external game studios. The revival of the Silent Hill franchise has been in full force with the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill F, both of which are rumored to be coming within the next year or two.
In an interview with IGN Japan, Okamoto said that Konami has been feeling the staff shortage with so much public pressure for new material. After realizing the studio could only make so many titles at once, it decided to turn to indie creators who could get new entries off the ground. But now that their revival project is public knowledge, Okamoto encourages indie game developers to come forth and present their pitches to him.
This comes after back in October, publisher Konami revealed multiple Silent Hill projects in a live stream conference. Bloober Team was put in charge of developing the Silent Hill 2 Remake with several other smaller-scale titles announced during the same event. Silent Hill: Townfall, which is handled by No Code, and Silent Hill F, which is a project run by Neobards Entertainment.
