Sales of Silent Hill have increased recently. Konami reported 13 million units sold in October, but now that number has risen to 14 million. This jump in sales is likely due to the positive reviews for Silent Hill f and excitement about upcoming games in the series.
Konami also publishes several other popular game franchises. Pawafuru Puroyakyu has sold 26.3 million copies, Yu-Gi-Oh! has sold 32.5 million, and Momotaru Dentetsu has sold 19.9 million. Their free-to-play mobile games, Jikkyu Pawafuru Puroyakyu and Professional Baseball Spirits A (Ace), have been downloaded 53 million and 66 million times, respectively. Games available on both consoles and mobile, like eFootball with 950 million downloads and Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel with 90 million, are also popular titles.
The newest installment in the Metal Gear series is a remake called Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Released in August 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, the game has been praised by both longtime fans and new players. You can find a detailed review of the game on our site.
So, the producer, Noriaki Okamura, was talking recently about how now would have been the perfect time to remake Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. He and the director, Yuji Korekado, both have a ton of respect for the people who made the original game, and they really wanted to do it justice.
Korekado explained that, given the series’ long history, they have a diverse fanbase. They were careful to honor the legacy of past games while also updating the experience for modern players, staying true to the original creator’s vision. They made some changes, though, because certain elements of the original game might not play well for today’s audiences.
The game Silent Hill has been consistently updated with free content. A recent November update added a new difficulty level and allowed players to skip more sections when starting a New Game+. Ryukishi07, a writer involved with the game, also explained why the team chose the fictional town of Ebisugaoka as the setting instead of the classic town of Silent Hill.
Ryukishi07 explained that after being asked to work on Silent Hill f, they had a detailed conversation with the series producer, Okamoto. They discussed questions like why the game was set in Japan and what Silent Hill actually is. Ultimately, they agreed that Silent Hill wasn’t simply a location, but rather a kind of event or phenomenon. Ryukishi07 feels this discussion helped them build a strong foundation for the game’s story and world.
