Konami's latest entry in the renowned psychological horror series has been attracting attention for its unique setting. It also features an original storyline after more than a decade without new content from the main franchise. The game's script is written by Ryukishi07, known for creating the popular visual novel series Higurashi and Umineko, both acclaimed for their mysterious and atmospheric plots.
Silent Hill f promises to renew the series with an all-new narrative
The teaser already released by Konami presents an intriguing setting: a seemingly abandoned city overrun with vegetation, while a young woman wanders aimlessly. The developer hasn't revealed many gameplay details yet, but promises to revive the series' classic elements while exploring new forms of storytelling and horror.
In recent years, Konami has demonstrated renewed efforts to revitalize the Silent Hill franchise. In 2023, the company released the highly anticipated remake developed by Bloober Team, which sold over one million copies in less than a week. The success boosted the relationship between the companies, leading to new collaborations that may result in other future projects.
This time, the game is being produced by Motoi Okamoto, an industry veteran who has worked on titles such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Pikmin 2. The technical side of development is handled by the studio Neobards, while the character and creature designs are handled by artist Kera.
Konami reinforces investment in the franchise
Despite its ups and downs in recent years, Konami has demonstrated that Silent Hill remains a top priority. The Silent Hill 2 remake was a significant step in rekindling audience interest, and now the company is focusing on an entirely new narrative to expand the series' universe.
In addition to Silent Hill f, Polish developer Bloober Team recently announced Cronos: The New Dawn, a horror game with a science fiction setting, which may indicate that the partnership with Konami still has room for more future projects.
The March 13th presentation will be crucial in setting fan expectations and clarifying details about Silent Hill f. The community eagerly awaits to discover how Konami intends to reinvent one of video games' most iconic horror franchises.
