A third Silent Hill game was announced during this evening's Silent Hill livestream, currently named Silent Hill F. Just like Silent Hill: Townfall, the reveal is very vague and lacks any platforms or a targetted release window. Instead, we have the trailer embedded above to watch. Interestingly, the story is being written by Higurashi When They Cry writer Ryukishi07.
Motoi Okamoto is producing, with Neobards Entertainment leading development. That's the same team co-developing Resident Evil Re: Verse, so Silent Hill F marks quite the departure from the multiplayer action we expect to land next week.
The YouTube description reads: "SILENT HILL f – will be a completely new story set in 1960's Japan featuring a beautiful, yet horrifying world. Written by Ryūkishi07, famed for Japanese visual novels dealing with murder mysteries, psychological and supernatural horror."

No clue what this is all about but really cool getting the Higurashi writer on board!
I have no idea what this is and I have no idea if it's going to be good or not, but I LOVED this trailer. Beautiful piece of atmosphere.
I'm getting strong Fatal Frame vibes with this, should be interesting though having it based in Japan.
And with the writer of Higurashi on board it's going to be dark.
Higurashi is excellent, so whatever it is, I'm sure the story will be the best part of it.
Well no clue except generic creepy Fatal Frame vibe. We are years away from playing it though... Looked kind of cool.
Silent Hill F. What is it? F knows.... 🤣
More intrigued with this one.
That image reminds me of Midsommar.
CGI Anime film?
That looked awesome. I know they didn’t show much but it might be the one reveal I’m most excited for.
@feral1975 One of the devs Neobards Entertainment was a support studio for a bunch of the Resident evil games. Pretty sure this is a game.
Getting siren and kuon vibes!
Dude the Trypophobia vibes went hard and I genuinely got grossed out. SIGN ME UP.
EDIT: Wasn't this flower head thing featured in some of those "leaked" shots with all the post-it notes?
That shape of 'f' is the symbol for 'frequency'
@Fight_Teza_Fight
Fair enough, would have been happy enough with a film, but considering how horrific Higurashi can be it would be interesting, they might be throwing everything at the wall and see what sticks in this day and age, psychological horror or just plain nasty stuff.
Ryukishi07 being the writer is kinda cool. I think this is the only interesting thing to come out of that 40 min video.
But it's just CG, and studio is kinda nhe..... who know's when this is coming out....probably in 2025.
Really cool trailer, I enjoyed the vibes. As the article points out, didn't glean much more from this really, but exciting nonetheless.
So Silent Hill Frame? No but really, coming from the same person who wrote Higurashi, I'm intruiged
Nice to see so many who know what higurashi is, makes me want to watch the new anime "remakes" 🤔
Very sold on this one. Looks great.
Isnt this the 6th game in the main series? F is the 6th letter in the alphabet, so probably just a codename so far. Mindblowing if konami really chose to go with the support-studio for Re:Verse as the real main developer. Killed all the hype for me and seals this as a AA game at best.
This looks cool and all, but is it really Silent Hill tho ?
@get2sammyb So is this the first person game that had photos leaked from? which included phone messages and stuff like that?
@SamMR it’s a bit far removed from the place
I'm actually way more interested in this than Bloober Hill 2. Although NOTHING about this screams Silent Hill to me. Just looks like Japanese horror (which I'm fine with).
I'm actually watching through the Higurashi anime series at the moment with some friends (we just started Kira, which was... a mistake). As bad as it is at times, I'll give the writer this: the broader plot is EXTREMELY interesting.
Very different direction for Silent Hill.
Into it. 🆒
@AdamNovice you mean this game has a chance to be THAT good?!
that music at the end was an awesome rendition.
Nice trailer. Hope its not a VN game though, that is not my kinda thing (based on the few I've tried)
@Ralizah start w higurashi (2006) aka as the question arc
then watch higurashi (2007) aka the answer arc to answer all your question
then watch gou and sotsu thats the 2020 version aka season 3 & 4
this a sequel not a remake alot of peopke got confused so they didnt watch it
theres also 1 ova u need to watch its a 40-50min anime
@CthulhuFhtagn I wouldn't go that far, though it'll be cool to see a different take on Silent Hill.
this is probably konami's take on shin megami tensei if that will give way to a spinoff
@arra1213 Already watched the original, Kai, and Rei, so we should be up to date. Next up will be Gou and Sotsu
@Ralizah ok the og is still the best no competition, gou and sotsu not on the same level but still good and it has alot of changes, u will be surprised whos the villain on s3 & s4 so keep watching xd
No clue who the writer is and I've never experienced Higurashi before.
However I am very intrigued by the setting supposedly being 60's Japan.
Fatal Frame vibes thanks for the Japanese imagery and the torii gate.
Count me in. I love this stuff
Writer for When They Cry is making this? Now I'm hyped!
f stands for flowers, clearly. As in "Golly, you sure do smell flowery!"
I don't know what this CGI has to do with Silent Hill, but it sure looks like it could be interesting!
The art style for this game looks good. Cant wait to see more reveals.
All the red vines make me think of War Of The Worlds. I’m guessing the ‘f’ stands for ‘flowers’???
Great trailer! I don't usually play horror games but might make an exception for this one.
So...you start walking down an alley and plant tendril looking things start to grow along the walls. The further down the alley you go they start trying to reach out and snatch you like a Black Friday special. Why wouldn't you turn around?
