The latest trailer takes us back to the eerie atmosphere we glimpsed in the initial reveal. It introduces a new perspective in the series—a young girl navigating the eerie surroundings of a petite Japanese village in the 1960s. As the town gets swallowed by dense fog, she begins to notice flowers sprouting mysteriously, right before encountering a haunting, staggering woman. With more grotesque creatures appearing, we watch the girl grasp a metal pipe, poised to defend herself from threats just out of view, all while a peculiar, spore-infested house looms in the background.
This intriguing installment, Silent Hill f, is being developed by a Taiwanese team with input from seasoned Japanese developers. During a recent live stream, we got a deeper look into the game’s creation process, featuring insights from the writer Ryukishi07 and the inventive minds of designer Kera known for their character and monster designs. Konami, during the session, elaborated on how they meticulously crafted the rural setting using a blend of reference images and ambient sounds. They also touched on the psychological themes they plan to delve into through the journey of the young protagonist.
While the trailer didn’t reveal a release date, it did confirm that Silent Hill f will arrive on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. If the anticipation is already setting in, you can add it to your wishlist on Steam now.
