Konami revealed more details about Mainline Silent Hill's next game in the latest broadcast on YouTube on Thursday. Silent Hill: F sheds the titular city in favor of the new Japanese ambience of the 1960s, with the overall theme “Finding Beauty in Terror”. The last entrance to the series was Downpour, released in 2013.
The announcement comes after the release of the Silent Hill 2 remake last year, which was a great success by the series standards, selling over 1 million copies in the first three days of its release. The series has announced a number of future games, and although we still don't have a date of publication, Silent Hill: F seems to be the one we can expect to see first.
For the first time we saw a trailer for Silent Hill: F in 2022, and Konami shared more details about the impending heading in the gearbox.

Set in the 1960s Japan, Silent Hill: F breaks from the small resort in Maine, but the other elements that fans should expect from the series are all here. Here is the official description:
“When the hidden city of Ebisugaoka on Hinako Shimizu wastes a sudden fog, her once -known home becomes a haunting nightmare,” Konami said. “As the city is silent and the fog thickens, Jinako must move through the perverse paths of Ebisugaoka, solving complex puzzles and facing grotesque monsters to survive.”
The title has a noticeable change in the color palette, with lighter visual and contrasts that rely on the beauty of the beauty that is happening. This will also be the first time since the Silent Hill 3 that the series will have a female protagonist.
Konami's decision to move the title to Japan appears to be part of returning to its roots, despite a series of previously centering through the US city. The investor said that “the Japanese soul (on a silent hill) became poor with every new issue”.
Plus, it seems to be a time for fresh change for the series if it needs to succeed. While the Silent Hill fan would not mind if Konami just made efforts to consider all four Core Four games, I also want to see progress and develop as a series. If Silent Hill continues to expand to different locations, (and cultures and protagonists), potential stories that can be said by Hill could be infinite.
Until a date was given Steam and the PlayStation store. It will also be available for the Xbox series when released.
