Silent Hill f

A Japanese Silent Hill

Developed by NeoBards Entertainment and published by Konami, Silent Hill f launched on 25 September 2025 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. You follow Hinako, a schoolgirl whose town of Ebisugaoka is swallowed by fog. The game leans more on melee combat than earlier entries.

What the press says

IGN likes the new Japanese setting, the dark story and the creatures, but finds combat a chore early on and too easy later to stay scary. Eurogamer finds the first half frustrating but urges players to stick with it, calling the second half brilliant. GamingBolt praises the atmosphere, sound design, visuals and map design, while regretting simplistic combat and odd animations. Push Square sees a bold new chapter with a chilling atmosphere, but notes technical issues on PS5 Pro.

On 11 November 2026 the standard edition costs €69.99 on Steam and the Xbox Store.

Who is it for?
