Nightmare of Horror and Beauty "Silent Hill F" confirms the release date of the game
KONAMI officially announced in this morning's online program "State of Play" that the highly anticipated horror adventure game "Silent Hill f" will be released on September 25, 2025, and the PS5 Pro's real-time gameplay screen was released for the first time. This version supports "Enhanced Image Mode", providing players with a stable frame rate under high image quality, bringing a smoother and visually impactful combat experience.
"Silent Hill f" will take players into a Japan set in the 1960s, showing a world that is even more terrifying because of its beauty. The famous game creator Ryūkishi07 (Ryūkishi07) is responsible for the game's script creation. He is good at shaping themes such as murder, psychology and supernatural horror. He will inject a brand new story depth into this series. The design of monsters and characters is carried out by the Japanese artist Kera, who is famous for his unique style, giving each character a beautiful and terrifying character.
In "Silent Hill f", the player will play the role of Hinako Deep Water from "Rong Zhiqiu". As his hometown gradually becomes shrouded in fog and transforms into a nightmare space, Hinako must face the test of survival and solve various puzzles that plague her. This world full of mystery and fear will test Hinako's decisions, and she must choose between the temptation of grace and beauty and the reality of madness and fear. Can she stay rational in this madness and find a way to escape?
The development concept of this game is "because of beauty", and the team has set up four core elements to enhance the scary effect of the game and the immersion of the players. First of all, the game faithfully restores the townscape of Japan in the 1960s. The foggy street scene is lifelike in 4K resolution, as if bringing players back to that era. Secondly, the game complements visually and music, presenting an interlaced experience of "beauty and fear". Monster designer Kera combines Japanese folk horror with the traditional weird style of "Silent Hill" to create a new horror image, while the soundtrack collaborated by Akira Yamao and Kensuke Inamo is both nostalgic and innovative, enhancing the game atmosphere.
The puzzle design of the game is inspired by the pain and psychological fear written by Dragon Knight 07, which is closely linked to the plot. At the same time, Japanese cultural images such as scarecrow are also incorporated to increase the complexity and fun of puzzle solving. In the trailer, the unusual human figure standing quietly in the field in the rain is a typical example. Finally, this game explores a new style in combat experience, and pays more attention to melee and action than "Silent Hill 2". Hinako will use an iron rod to fight the approaching strange enemies, including humanoid dummies holding blades, challenging the player's skills and psychological endurance.
It is worth mentioning that "Silent Hill f" is a new side work in the series, and players do not need to have previous experience to get started, which is suitable for players who are in contact for the first time. For old players, there are also many colored eggs and tribute details hidden in the game for them to explore and discover.
Although the story of this work is set in Japan, it retains the usual psychological horror experience of the "Silent Hill" series. Whether you are an old player in the series or a Dragon Knight 07 fan who wants to experience the new adventure, this game will be a must-see work. The official expects this game to provide a profound plot experience and challenging battles for new and old players.
"Silent Hill f" is expected to be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store on September 25, 2025. Let us look forward to this new work that combines horror and beauty. It brings players not only a feast of vision and hearing, but also a profound discussion on the fear deep in their hearts.
