The wait is over for fans of the iconic survival horror series, Silent Hill, as Konami has finally unveiled the first full trailer and official details for Silent Hill f, two years after the initial teaser. This newest installment in the franchise is slated for release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, although a specific launch date has yet to be announced by Konami.
What’s particularly intriguing about Silent Hill f is its development by NeoBards Entertainment, with a story penned by Ryukishi07, the acclaimed author of “Higurashi: When They Cry”. This collaboration promises a captivating narrative that unfolds in Japan, centered around the protagonist, Shimizu Hinako, a young girl living in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka during the 1960s. The story delves into themes of family drama, friendship, and societal pressures in Japan during that era, interwoven with supernatural elements. As Hinako navigates her life, she discovers her town shrouded in a mysterious, thick fog, with people disappearing and terrifying creatures lurking in the shadows.
A glimpse into the gameplay reveals a third-person perspective, along with a combat system, underscoring that even the protagonist, despite her youthful appearance, must confront and fight her way through the horrors she faces. Konami has issued a warning that the game maintains the series’ tradition of heavy, mature themes, including sexual content, child abuse, bullying, hallucinations induced by drugs, and scenes of torture. These elements are quintessential to the Silent Hill experience, ensuring that Silent Hill f stays true to its roots.
For those eager to see more, a trailer is available, offering a chilling preview of what’s to come.
