Konami is a Japanese entertainment conglomerate headquartered in Tokyo, founded in 1969 by Kagemasa Kozuki as an amusement machine rental and repair business. They are one of the most historically significant publishers in the games industry, responsible for franchises including Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Castlevania, Contra, Frogger, Pro Evolution Soccer, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Suikoden. Their relationship with gaming turned turbulent after the public and acrimonious departure of creator Hideo Kojima in 2015 and a period where the company appeared to be retreating from major game development. Since then, Konami has rebuilt its reputation with the Silent Hill 2 Remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and Silent Hill f, and its 2026 slate includes Silent Hill: Townfall, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse.
Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series is one of the most critically acclaimed franchises in gaming history. Metal Gear Solid, Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, and Guns of the Patriots are all considered landmark titles. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of Snake Eater, released in 2025. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 followed in 2023, and Master Collection Vol. 2 launched on August 27, 2026 with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.
Silent Hill is one of the defining franchises in psychological horror, and Silent Hill 2 in particular is considered a masterpiece. The franchise went dormant after Konami cancelled Silent Hills, the project with Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro whose playable teaser P.T. became a legend in its own right. Konami announced multiple new Silent Hill projects in 2022, including the Silent Hill 2 Remake developed by Bloober Team, which released in 2024 to strong reviews and effectively rehabilitated both Bloober's and Konami's reputations in the horror space. Silent Hill f followed in 2025, and Silent Hill: Townfall launched on September 24, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and PC. Developed by the Scottish studio Screen Burn Interactive, Townfall is set in the mid 1990s in the Scottish town of St. Amelia and follows Simon Ordell, who returns to the town to put things right.
One of gaming's oldest franchises, with roots in 1986. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night in 1997 is one of the most influential games ever made, defining the Metroidvania subgenre. The Netflix animated series revived mainstream interest in the franchise, and Castlevania: Nocturne continued it with a second season in January 2025. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, a new 2D Castlevania celebrating the series' 40th anniversary, launches October 15, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch version coming later in 2026. It is set in Paris in 1499 and follows Rose Belmont, and it is the first new Castlevania game in years. It is also one of the more notable Xbox releases of the fall.
Contra began as a run and gun arcade game in 1987 and became one of the most recognized co-op action franchises of the NES era. Contra: Operation Galuga, a modern revival developed by WayForward, released in 2024.
Yu-Gi-Oh is Konami's card game giant, with the Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game and the digital Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel keeping the franchise one of the most profitable in the company.
Pro Evolution Soccer was the long-running rival to FIFA for years. Konami replaced it with the free to play eFootball in 2021.
Suikoden is Konami's beloved JRPG series, and Suikoden I and II HD Remaster released in 2025, bringing the first two games back for a new audience.
The public falling out between Kojima and Konami in 2015 included removing his name from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's marketing and cancelling the anticipated Silent Hills project, and it damaged Konami's reputation significantly. Kojima went on to found Kojima Productions and make Death Stranding. Konami has spent the years since rebuilding trust through its revivals.
Konami has returned to active game publishing with the Silent Hill 2 Remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Silent Hill f, and a 2026 lineup of Silent Hill: Townfall, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. Their card game division through Yu-Gi-Oh remains enormously profitable. The pachinko and gaming machine business that caused so much friction with creative talent during the Kojima era continues to be a significant revenue source. Whether Konami can fully rebuild trust with the game development community and creative talent after the events of 2015 is an ongoing question, but the recent run of well received revivals has answered a lot of it.
