1. Silent Hill f – Trailer, Story and More
Konami has revealed significant details about Silent Hill f, including its Japanese setting, female lead character, and central story themes. Additionally, it’s been confirmed that Ryukishi07, the renowned writer behind the Higurashi and Umineko visual novel series, is penning the game’s narrative.
Konami also released a new trailer for Silent Hill f, letting players get a taste of what to expect. Set in the fictional city of Ebisugaoka, inspired by Japan’s Gifu Prefecture, Silent Hill f follows protagonist Hinako as she navigates a fog-shrouded, monster-infested city. As Konami describes it:
“Shimizu Hinako was living her life as an ordinary teenager. That is, until her town is suddenly shrouded in fog and begins to change in a horrific way. Now, she must explore a town she no longer recognizes while solving puzzles, fighting strange enemies, and doing everything she can to survive… in order to face the ultimate decision that she must make. This is a tale about a beautiful yet terrifying choice.”

i. Silent Hill f – From The Creator’s Desk
During the Silent Hill Transmission, Konami delved into the game’s development with key creatives. This original story serves as an ideal entry point for newcomers while also adding Easter Eggs for long-time fans.
At its core, Silent Hill f will remain true to the series, but with a fresh twist. Developers wanted to craft a unique narrative set outside the Western world, centered around the series’ first teenage protagonist, Hinako, with Heather Mason from Silent Hill 3 being the closest comparison.
Producer Motoi Okamoto, composer Akira Yamaoka, and writer Ryukishi07 shared insights on the game’s 1960s Japan setting, musical inspirations, creature designs, and the central theme of “finding beauty in terror.”
Creature and character designer Kera expressed excitement for Silent Hill f, hinting at the horrors that await fans. Kera drew inspiration from Silent Hill 2 and blended them with Japanese elements. The team faced challenges in designing monsters that felt both new and true to the series.
The game’s music will also play a crucial role, with Akira Yamaoka and Kensuke Inage collaborating to create soundtracks for the Fog World and Otherworld. Inage described his composition as an “unsettling yet beautiful” blend of ancient Japanese court music and ambient sounds, designed to connect players with the protagonist’s emotions.
