Following the release of the game M4G caught up with the veteran composer for an in-depth interview about the reception to the latest installment in the series, his ambitions for the future and the challenges ahead for the Silent Hill franchise:
M4G: What game(s) and/or album projects are you working on that you can mention?
Akira Yamaoka: I'd love to talk about it, but at this point I can only say that I'm currently working on a new game. I am the producer of the game. I'm hoping that I can announce it this year. It will be a completely different, all-new concept. I am confident that everyone will be pleasantly surprised when it comes out.
