Konami didn’t disappoint with the Silent Hill Transmission today, revealing the NeoBards Entertainment-developed Silent Hill f (which was originally revealed back in 2022) will be coming to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Featuring Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto, the event delved into the story for this new entry, as well as featured an appearance from Silent Hill f scriptwriter Ryukishi07, and longtime Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoaka, who has contributed new music to the game.
The story takes place in 1960s Japan, where protagonist Shimizu Hinako’s secluded town of Ebisugaoka is consumed by a sudden fog, transforming her home into a haunting nightmare. As the town falls silent and the fog thickens, Hinako must navigate the twisted paths of Ebisugaoka, solving complex puzzles and confronting grotesque monsters to survive.
Silent Hill f will retain the series’ core elements of psychological horror, but with a focus on “[finding] the beauty in terror”, according to Motoi. “Regardless of its new setting in Japan, this is without a doubt a Silent Hill game. Silent Hill f‘s mixture of beautiful and terrifying visuals gives new life to Silent Hill as a Japanese-style horror game.
A noticeable feature of Japanese horror is the idea that terror can be found within beauty. When something becomes too immensely beautiful and perfect, it instead becomes deeply unsettling. And so, players will experience this world through the eyes of a young girl who is faced with a beautiful yet terrifying decision.”
A release date was not revealed during the presentation.
