Silent Hill F will be broadcast through Konami’s official channels this March 13 at 3:00 PM PT. Details are still scarce, but the expectation from fans and enthusiasts of the franchise and Konami predicts important information, since the producer of Silent Hill 2 also shared that in 2025 there could be more content about the game.
Silent Hill and the return of psychological terror
Since that broadcast in 2022, there has been a lot of speculation about what the new Silent Hill F means, since the Japanese company and owner of the brand has maintained an exceptional secrecy, and they have been very careful with leaks. This has mythologized what the return of the important psychological horror franchise could mean.
Added to this, the confirmed involvement of Ryukishi07 (Umineko, Higurashi) indicates that the narrative is in good hands. Taking into account his work in this genre, we could expect a strong and enigmatic dark narrative, focused on a more psychological horror, something quite similar to the story that Silent Hill games have imposed for decades. Other figures present in the development include NeoBards Entertainment, with Al Yang as director and Motoi Okamoto, a former Nintendo producer, as producer.
Since its initial announcement, information about Silent Hill F has been limited, which has increased curiosity and speculation among fans. The choice to set the game in Japan during the 1960s suggests an exploration of cultural and folkloric elements unique to the region, which could bring a new dimension to the series’ signature horror.
The Silent Hill franchise has been emblematic of the survival horror genre since its debut in 1999. Over the years, it has offered experiences that combine haunting atmospheres, deep narratives and a psychological exploration of its characters. After a period of inactivity, Konami has revitalized the series with recent releases, such as Silent Hill: The Short Message for PlayStation 5 and the remake of Silent Hill 2 for PlayStation 5 and PC. These titles have been well-received, with the Silent Hill 2 remake standing out especially for its faithful recreation of the original and graphical improvements that enhance immersion in its oppressive atmosphere.
The broadcast on March 13 looks like a perfect opportunity for Konami to keep the news about the franchise alive in the media, and to keep talking about the relevance it brought to the table when working on the exceptional remake of Silent Hill 2. The development team, as well as the renowned characters behind this new horror title, make the expectation about the news and the game itself quite high. We will have to keep an eye on Konami’s official networks about the new possibilities that Silent Hill F will offer.
