Following a decade of laying dormant the fog is descending once again with the news that Konami will release the first brand new Silent Hill title since 2012’s Downpour.
Titled Silent Hill f, the game will relocate the action from the nightmarish dreamscape of the titular town to 1960’s Japan, and as part of Konami’s Silent Hill Transmission event it was also revealed that Bloober Team were developing a remake of the series’ most critically-acclaimed installment, Silent Hill 2.
The Silent Hill franchise has felt as though it has been trapped in a kind of development hell similar to that experienced by anyone who has ever been lost in the mists of this terrifying world. The last original content from the series came in the form of a legitimately scary 2014 playable demo called P.T., which was designed as a teaser for Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hills, but was removed from existence when Kojima departed the project and the game was cancelled.
Not only was the news of a new game exciting, but Konami also dropped a teaser for Silent Hill f, which you can check out below…
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.
