Over two years since its announcement, Konami’s Silent Hill f has received new details in the latest Silent Hill Transmission. It’s coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, and though there’s no release date, a new trailer is available. Check it out below.
Developed by NeoBards Entertainment and written by Ryukishi07, the story follows Shimizu Hinako in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka in 1960s Japan. Though cheerful while growing up, she now struggles with “the pressure of expectations from her friends, family, and society.” When a telltale fog rolls into town, Hinako suddenly discovers everyone she’s known to have gone missing and horrifying monstrosities lurking everywhere.
Though there is some combat – as dictated by a metal pipe she carries around – Silent Hill f will also have puzzles. It also seems like Hinako will have to choose between “elegance and beauty” or embarking on a path towards “madness and horror.”
As such, Konami is warning of heavy themes, including “depictions of gender discrimination, child abuse, bullying, drug-induced hallucinations, torture, and graphic violence.” It also depicts the “customs and culture” of the 1960s, which “do not reflect the opinions or values of the developers or any individuals involved.” Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.
