The Konami Silent Hill franchise has been dormant for years. After the split between Hideo Kojima and Konami, the last major Silent Hill project came to a screeching halt. Since then, fans of the IP remained hopeful that there would be a return to the Silent Hill franchise at some point. However, all they had to go on was speculation and supposed rumors. It wouldn’t be until last year that we finally got word from Konami that Silent Hill was back, and the focus on the franchise was at an all-time high for the company.
Rather than working on one particular game, multiple projects came out. Included in the mix was a brand-new entry. We don’t have much of anything to go off of from Silent Hill F, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating. The initial teaser revealed for the game looks to take players back to a period in history. It seems that we’re going to a rural part of Japan during the 1960s. It’s not too surprising that we’re not stepping into the town of Silent Hill as other games focused on different areas besides town. But while we continue to speculate about what exactly we’ll be going through in Silent Hill F, the developers are hopeful fans are able to figure out what the F stands for in the game title.
Recently, the game director behind Silent Hill F, Al Yang, had taken up on Twitter asking fans what they think the F in Silent Hill F stands for. In fact, he has a running bet at work to see just if fans are able to think of what it is. With little information out regarding what Silent Hill F will entail and only one teaser to go off from, there is plenty of mystery surrounding this game alongside the title handle. We’re not even sure when we might be seeing this particular game installment again, as it’s likely a good ways off before it’s ready for a release.
So far, there is no release date attached to Silent Hill F. But again, that’s not the only Silent Hill game in the works. We have a remake title in the works for Silent Hill 2, arguably the best installment of the entire franchise. Bloober Team is working on the remake, and it’s set to launch on PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. While we don’t have a release date attached for the game release quite yet, it’s likely we’ll be seeing this title come out into the marketplace before Silent Hill F graces the marketplace. In the meantime, you can check out the Silent Hill F trailer reveal in the video we have embedded above.
