Silent Hill as a franchise has been dormant for the past generation. While the series was meant to be revived by Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima, director Guillermo del Toro and manga artist Junji Ito, the title was cancelled by Konami in a public fallout between publisher and creator.

Yamaoka hasn’t composed for the series since the 2012 movie sequel Silent Hill: Revelations. The composer did return to horror to compose for the Xbox exclusive title The Medium.
