Konami Digital Entertainment BV and Maximum Entertainment France are delighted to announce the upcoming physical editions of SILENT HILL f , the next chapter in the iconic horror franchise.
Maximum Entertainment will distribute physical editions of the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in France.
Set in 1960s Japan, this chilling new installment immerses players in a sinister and haunting world where horror and psychological tension intertwine in an unforgettable narrative experience to find beauty in terror.
A New Story in 1960s Japan
In the isolated mountain town of Ebisugaoka, teenager Shimizu Hinako leads an unremarkable life—until a thick fog rolls in, transforming her once-familiar home into a desolate and terrifying place. As the town appears abandoned and an unknown, creeping threat lurks in the mist, Hinako must navigate the spectral remnants of her past, solve complex puzzles, and battle horrific entities to survive. Faced with impossible decisions, she must ultimately choose between beauty and madness, confronting the horrors that await her in the fog.
A Visionary Horror Tale by Ryukishi07
Renowned for his work on Higurashi When They Cry and Umineko When They Cry , acclaimed writer Ryukishi07 brings his signature blend of psychological horror and emotional storytelling to SILENT HILL f .
Known for his deeply immersive narratives that explore human nature and societal expectations, Ryukishi07 describes his participation as a deeply personal experience:
” Even today, I remember my first encounter with the stifling, oppressive atmosphere of SILENT HILL. It still haunts me deeply and fascinates me as much as ever. It’s an honor to find myself involved in a series that has left me with so many memories. I put all my effort into this story, so much so that I don’t think I would mind if it was the last thing I wrote.
For me, the SILENT HILL series is more than just a collection of stories; it’s a means of communication, an amazing and phenomenal way to explore and discover a person’s heart and mind. I hope players come to appreciate it in the same way. To all our foreign friends, I hope you enjoy this glimpse of what SILENT HILL might be like if it took place somewhere a little different, like Japan .
A bold new take on horror
Acclaimed illustrator and monster designer Kera, known for her evocative work in card games and monster design, joins the project. Deeply inspired by SILENT HILL 2 , Kera has worked tirelessly to create a visual experience that pays homage to the franchise while taking it in a new direction.
Legendary composer Akira Yamaoka, who has been a defining force in the SILENT HILL series for over 25 years, returns to create the chilling soundscapes of SILENT HILL f . Responsible for composing the music for the game’s fog-filled world, Yamaoka blends haunting melodies in keeping with SILENT HILL ‘s psychological horror roots to create a universally unsettling experience that resonates with longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Alongside Akira Yamaoka, renowned game composer Kensuke Inage will be responsible for composing the music for the game’s Otherworld, adding a unique aural contrast between the two worlds of SILENT HILL f . Kensuke has worked on over 30 video game titles and has demonstrated great skill in blending Japanese musical elements with contemporary styles.
Building on the success of the SILENT HILL 2 remake , producer Motoi Okamoto is spearheading the project with the ambition of reinvigorating the series in its first-ever Japanese setting. He emphasizes the game’s unique approach to horror, balancing SILENT HILL ‘s traditional psychological elements with the distinctive aesthetics of Japanese folklore and fear.
An experience that pushes the limits
SILENT HILL f will challenge players with uncomfortable themes and the psychological torments they bring. The game will reflect the customs and culture of Japan at that time while delivering an intense and deeply emotional horror experience.
