While Konami and NeoBards Entertainment have yet to announce a release date for Silent Hill f, more details are seemingly coming soon. AnimeExpo has announced a panel, “Unmasking Silent Hill f,” for July 4th, featuring series producer Motoi Okamoto, writer Ryukishi07 and composer Akira Yamaoka.
The details of the panel remain to be seen, and while it could simply discuss behind-the-scenes development, there may even be new gameplay. A release date announcement seems unlikely, but time will tell.
Silent Hill f is in development for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Unlike previous titles, the story takes place in the 1960s in a fictitious Japanese town called Ebisugaoka. Players control Shimizu Hinako, who struggles with societal pressure when the telltale fog arrives and transports her to the other side.
Though it’s the next mainline title in the franchise, Konami has recently clarified that Silent Hill f is a “completely new title” that exists “independent of the series.” As such, this makes it ideal for those who haven’t played previous games but seemingly eliminates any direct connections. Stay tuned for further updates in the meantime.
