Konami concluded its Silent Hill Transmission event with the reveal of a brand-newSilent Hillgame,Silent Hill F. Konami’s Silent Hill Transmission included the official announcements for projects long-rumored to be in development, including thePS5 exclusiveSilent Hill 2remakeand the brand-newSilent Hillgame,Silent Hill F.
Silent Hill Fwas revealed with a teaser trailer that gave fans a general idea of the vibe the game is going for. It shows a woman running through a hall, tormented by plant-like tendrils coming out of the walls. Notably the game is set in 1960s Japan, which stands in stark contrast with previous games in theSilent Hillseries, most of which have been set in the United States. Judging by the trailer, it also looks like body horror is going to play a role in the game, though fans still have a lot left to learn about the project and exactly what it will entail.

We do know thatSilent Hill Fis being developed by NeoBards Entertainment, the same studio behindResident Evil Re:Verse, and that the story is being written by Japanese writer Ryukishi07. The trailer was merely a cinematic, though, and so it’s hard to make any determinations about the gameplay at the time of this writing.
The fact that theResident Evil Re:Versestudio is working onSilent Hill Fmay be concerning to some fans of the franchise. AsResident Evilfans will recall, theResident Evil Re:Versemultiplayer experience was originally meant to launch alongsideResident Evil Villagelast year.Re:Verseis now expected to drop on October 28 alongside the game’sWinters' Expansion, but that remains to be seen.
Some may be concerned about Konami outsourcing development of these newSilent Hillgame projects regardless of who is involved. All thenewSilent Hillprojectsthat were announced during the Silent Hill Transmission event are being handled by other studios. For example, theSilent Hill 2remake is being made byLayers of Feardeveloper Bloober Team, while the newly-announcedSilent Hill: Townfallis being made by No Code.
However, fans shouldn’t be too quick to judge. At the time of this writing, there is nothing known aboutSilent Hill Fbesides its title and who is making it, so it may be best to reserve judgment until actual gameplay is shown. For now, the game does appear to live up toSilent Hill’s creepy vibeand seems to be taking the series in some interesting new directions, but fans will need to wait to find out more.
