2024 was the best year in a long time for Silent Hill fans. A certain Silent Hill 2 Remake was released on October 7, 2024, on PS5, three years after its reveal. Now, fans of the saga and survival horror are waiting to discover the future of the franchise.
This future is embodied by Silent Hill f. The horror game developed by NeoBards Entertainment, which first appeared in February 2021, was given a long trailer during the State of Play on June 4. The opportunity to finally learn its release date.
Silent Hill f arrives on September 25 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series
Silent Hill f made a rather long appearance during the State of Play on Wednesday, June 4. Players were able to dive deep into the horror depicted by the game produced by NeoBards Entertainment. Silent Hill f will put you in control of Shimizu Hinako, a high school student from the city of Ebisugaoka, Japan. Unfortunately, her quiet little town will transform into a horrific theater populated by nightmarish creatures. As Hinako tries to survive in the foggy streets, she will be faced with decisions that will shape her future. Will she surrender to elegance and beauty? Or will her path lead her to the depths of madness and horror? Is she doomed to succumb to the madness unfolding before her eyes... or can she face her fears and find a way to escape?,” reads the PlayStation blog.
The disjointed creatures seen in the trailer are enough to make players sweat. Gameplay footage shows that they will be particularly aggressive towards poor Hinako. The role of her friend Sakuko in the story seems particularly unclear. The quality of the script written by Ryukishi07, the very inspired creator of the sound novels Higurashi When They Cry, will be scrutinized very closely by players.
We won't have to wait long before discovering Silent Hill f, which does not take place in the mythical foggy city. The title will be released on September 25th on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
Motoi Okamoto, the game's producer for Konami, discusses four pillars around which Silent Hill f was built, starting with 1960s Japan and its urban landscapes. The music, composed by Akira Yamaoka and Kensuke Inage, obviously plays a key role in the terror conveyed by the adventure.
Konami and NeoBards Entertainment also didn't forget to include puzzles "steeped in psychological anguish and suffering" and especially linked to the story. Of course, Silent Hill f will also feature its share of combat that is much more melee-focused than Silent Hill 2 Remake.
Note that Konami describes the game as a standalone spin-off. This is the first original game in the franchise since the questionable Silent Hill Downpour in 2012.
