Silent Hill f (Japanese: サイレントヒル f, Hepburn: Sairento Hiru f) is an upcoming survival horror video game developed by NeoBards Entertainment and published by Konami Digital Entertainment as the eighth mainline game in the Silent Hill franchise.[1] In a departure from the majority of previous entries in the series, the game takes place in 1960s rural Japan instead of the titular town.[2]

Development

[edit]

In February 2021, it was reported that Konami was planning to revive the Silent Hill franchise with multiple third-party studios developing new games.[3] In October 2022, Konami announced four new Silent Hill projects, 10 years after the last mainline Silent Hill game, Downpour.[4][5] Konami has revealed that Silent Hill f is developed by NeoBards Entertainment.[6]

The game is being directed by Al Yang, studio creative director of NeoBards Entertainment,[7] and is being written by Ryukishi07.[8][9] Creatures and characters are being designed by Japanese artist Kera,.[8] The game is being produced by Motoi Okamoto, former Nintendo producer.[10]
