In a haunting new trailer at today's Sony State of Play, we learned that Silent Hill f's fog of fresh horrors is imminent: it's coming out on September 25, 2025.
In a deeply upsetting new trailer today, we saw a longer, darker look at what's in store for us in Silent Hill f. We saw the main character, Hinako Shimizu, and her friends in Ebisugaoka living normal, peaceful lives, just before a mysterious fog envelopes the town and makes everything real weird.
Creepy red flowers bloom. Heinous, jerky dolls start chasing Hinako around and trying to rip her apart. Her friends don't seem to be doing so hot, either. There's gore, there's violence, lots of paranormal, and Hinako proving remarkably efficient with a crowbar.
Silent Hill f was first announced in 2022. It's set in 1960s Japan and is intended to juxapose horror with beauty in a story written by acclaimed Japanese writer Ryukishi07. We've since learned that it's standalone from the other Silent Hill games, and that it's Japan's first M-rated Silent Hill game, with truly gruesome warnings about impalement, faces being ripped apart, a character being burned alive in a cage, entrails on serving platters, and lots more. Yikes!
