Konami’s official YouTube channel released the launch trailer for Silent Hill f, offering both Japanese and English audio for fans worldwide. The game is set to launch on September 25, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Silent Hill f brings players to 1960s Japan, where Shimizu Hinako’s hometown, Ebisugaoka, is swallowed by a mysterious fog, transforming the once peaceful town into a nightmare. Players must navigate twisted streets, solve intricate puzzles, and confront grotesque creatures to survive.

The story is written by Ryukishi07, renowned for Higurashi: When They Cry, with kera handling creature and character design. The game features haunting music, including pieces by Akira Yamaoka, creating a chilling atmosphere that blends psychological horror with stunning visuals.
Konami describes the narrative as a tale of doubt, regret, and impossible choices, asking whether Hinako will embrace the beauty hidden within terror or succumb to the madness that awaits her.
