Konami Confirms New ‘Silent Hill’ Entry in Development [Updated]
UPDATE: Konami has issued a clarification regarding the earnings results, stating that the game in question is Silent Hill: Townfall.
Konami appear to be sticking to their claim of a new Silent Hill title every year, according to their latest earnings report. The publisher’s latest earnings results confirms that along with the upcoming remake of the PS1 original currently in development by Bloober Team, a separate brand-new entry is also in the works.
“As a continuation of our ongoing efforts, we are currently developing a brand-new title in the Silent Hill series, as well as a remake of the first installment, Silent Hill,” reads the report. Apart from that small blurb, no other details on the new entry were revealed.
As mentioned back in December, series producer Motoi Okamoto mentioned in a year-end interview with Japanese gaming website 4Gamer that Konami is looking to release a new entry in the series of about one title per year. “I’m not sure how much of that we’ll be able to realize, but I’ll continue to do my best as producer of the Silent Hill series,” said Okamoto. “Ideally, we’d like to keep excitement around the Silent Hill series going at all times.”
And while we still haven’t had confirmation from No Code Games and Annapurna Interactive regarding the release of Silent Hill: Townfall (which had been announced back in 2022), one would again hope that the rumoured 2026 release sticks.

Bullet Heaven Title ‘Yet Another Zombie Survivors’ Launches in Full on August 20 [Trailer]
After sticking around Early Access on Steam for three years, developer Awesome Games Studio has announced that the time has come for their squad-building bullet heaven title Yet Another Zombie Survivors to leave the service and launch in full. That launch will take place on August 20, with the 1.0 launch arriving simultaneously on Steam, GOG, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series, with the Nintendo Switch version following shortly after.
As detailed in the new trailer, version 1.0 is the game’s biggest update yet, including a new Survivor, a new map, and a new game mode.
And, as a way to celebrate the upcoming release, the developer has made their previous title, Yet Another Zombie Defence HD, available to own for free for a limited time. You can add the game to your account from now until July 30, so get clicking.
In Yet Another Zombie Survivors, you’re dropped into a world that’s been overrun by a zombie apocalypse. You’ve had enough, and now you and your team are out to make them pay. Your squad evolves based upon your decisions as you play. Choose to go for a varied set of perks and support skills, or focus on your favorite character to alter their gear and gain their ultimate abilities. Control a lone SWAT soldier, or an entire team of mercenaries armed with a variety of weapons.
If you’re keen to check out the game prior to its launch, you can play the demo that’s currently available on Steam.
