Silent Hill revival continues with Silent Hill f, set to release on original game’s anniversary

We’ve had a few glimpses at what Konami has been cooking in terms of the latest Silent Hill instalment, and while things look wholly different to that of the Silent Hill 2 Remake (or even the original Silent Hill 2), there’s no denying that the upcoming game looks promising.

On top of that, a release date was finally revealed: September 25, 2025. That, funnily enough, happens to be the 24th anniversary of the original Silent Hill!

Shown off during Sony’s State of Play (June 4), fans had a lengthy insight – thanks to a new trailer – into what to expect from Shimizu Hinako’s story. A teenage girl struggling with society’s expectations and the pressure put upon her is something we can no doubt all relate to in 2025, but Hinako’s story will be clearly taking a very gruesome turn as she explores the disturbing transformation of her hometown, Ebisugaoka.

It’s safe to say that the plot looks to be very Silent Hill, but this time, we’re stepping into the shoes of an all-new protagonist and getting to know this foggy, surreal Japanese town and all of its secrets. And going off the monstrous enemies shown off in the trailer – including a fleshy mannequin and some sort of jawless-demon wielding a mace – this isn’t going to be any walk in the park for poor Hinako or for any of Silent Hill f’s players.

Here’s hoping for a damning psychological horror experience all over again. I don’t know about you, but after just how good the Silent Hill 2 Remake was, I am itching to revisit the universe of Silent Hill.

Silent Hill f will be released on September 25 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
