After a long absence from the horror gaming world, Konami Digital Entertainment has finally revived its legendary franchise with Silent Hill f. Developed by NeoBards Entertainment, the game officially launched on September 25, 2025, with a survival horror genre and an 18+ rating.
As a spin-off of the main Silent Hill series, this game still presents the distinctive atmosphere of a thick foggy world, a tense mood, and mysteries that surround the player’s every step.
Silent Hill Game Story Background
Set in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka in the 1960s, Silent Hill f follows the story of Hinako Shimizu, a high school student struggling to survive amid strange phenomena. The town is suddenly filled with thick fog, and mysterious red flowers bloom in every corner of the residents’ homes. This marks the beginning of the terror lurking behind its beauty.
Players will solve mysteries, face terrifying creatures, and uncover the dark secrets behind the tragedy that befell the city. With gloomy visuals and a tense atmosphere, each step Hinako takes feels like walking between life and death.
Back to the Roots of Japanese Horror
Konami explained that Silent Hill F was created to bring back the distinctive Japanese horror feel that had faded in the previous series. The game focuses on Japanese culture, mythology, and psychology, presenting a softer and more emotional form of fear.
This approach pays homage to the roots of Silent Hill that we once knew for its atmosphere and deep story.
Player Performance and Response

Priced at around $1.6 million, this game is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It delivers a stunning horror experience in terms of visuals, narrative, and atmosphere, while cementing the revival of Silent Hill for a new generation of gamers.
