In an interview with Inverse, series producer Motoi Okamoto claimed that the team is interested in taking the Silent Hill series to other locations, similar to Silent Hill f. Places being considered include Central and South America to explore folklore of these locations including those stem from political conflicts, as well as Russia, Italy, and South Korea. “We believe we could perhaps take similar approaches with other cultures across the globe,” said Okamoto. “For example, in Central or South America, we could perhaps tap into the more local, shamanistic beliefs and see how that ties in. But we could also try to expand our horizons and look into other regions, like possibly Russia, Italy, or South Korea, because all those areas have their own unique types of belief systems. I believe that will be a gateway for us to expand our concepts further.” “Those areas have been affected by a lot of military governments and coups,” he continued, “There is a type of bravado and ‘machismo’ that comes from these political landscapes. There’s also the more folkloric angle coming from shamanism and local beliefs.”
