Release date and platforms
Silent Hill f was officially announced in October 2022, during the same event at which Konami revealed that the Bloober Team had been working on the Silent Hill 2 remake. The rekindled journey of James Sunderland came out two years later, in October 2022. Unfortunately, the upcoming installment hasn’t even gotten a release date. We only know that, like most of the latest multiplatform video games, it will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
Silent Hill f Story
Most Silent Hill games are Japanese horror in the United States. The new title takes another way. According to its creators, the franchise has incorporated too many Western elements. As a result, Silent Hill f will be set in Japan. The new fog-covered town where players will have to face monsters and their inner fears is called Ebisugaoka. It was modeled after Kanayama, a town that was incorporated into the city of Kani in Gifu Prefecture in 2005. The story is set in the 1960s. Players will follow a young girl, Shimizu Hinako. The game’s writer, Ryukishi07, known from Higurashi When They Cry and Umineko When They Cry, stated that the new protagonist will have more agency than other women who have appeared in the Silent Hill series.
Gameplay
Like in previous Silent Hill games, between being scared and being scared again, players will have to solve puzzles and face monstrosities. According to developers, Silent Hill f will throw at us particularly grotesque creatures. Their looks will probably go hand in hand with the game’s motto: Find beauty in terror.
Some even suggest that the upcoming psychological horror was so scary that it had been banned in Australia. In fact, Silent Hill f appeared on the Australian Classification Board’s website with the “refused classification” status. However, the organization quickly removed the game; hence, its temporary ban seems to be an error.
Beware of the scammers
The fact that thousands of players crave the possibility of playing Silent Hill f hasn’t escaped scammers’ attention. They have been spreading fake information about the game’s closed beta tests to steal players’ personal data. Even Konami has warned fans of such tricks.
Hence, beware of such suspicious opportunities unless they are posted by trustworthy sources. If you want to know more about preventing scams, download our free e-book and learn how to protect yourself and others against the dangers of cyberspace.
