Silent Hill f: The Ideal Entry Point for Newcomers to the Franchise

Silent Hill f is poised to be the perfect standalone game for those new to the iconic horror series. This article explores how Silent Hill f fits into the franchise and provides details about its upcoming panel at Anime Expo 2025.

Silent Hill f: An "Independent Work from the Series"

A Standalone Game That Can Be Enjoyed by Newcomers

For some time, fans of Silent Hill have been curious about where the upcoming Silent Hill f would fit within the series' timeline. However, a tweet from Konami posted on X (formerly Twitter) on May 20 clarified that Silent Hill f is a standalone game, separate from the main series. This makes it an excellent entry point for newcomers. Despite being a standalone title, the developers have woven subtle hints from past games into Silent Hill f, as mentioned during the Silent Hill Transmission in March.

The connection between Silent Hill f and the series' titular town might be challenging to grasp, as the original Silent Hill series is set in the 1990s USA, while Silent Hill f takes place in 1960s Japan. Although Konami is deviating from its classic setting, they have assured fans that the game will maintain the psychological horror that the series is renowned for.

Eager fans will need to wait a bit longer for more details, as Silent Hill f will be featured in a panel at Anime Expo 2025. Anime Expo announced on X (formerly Twitter) on May 21 that Konami will host "Unmasking SILENT HILL f," featuring Producer Motoi Okamoto, Scriptwriter Ryukishi07, and Composer Akira Yamaoka.

The panel is scheduled for July 4, from 3:15 PM to 4:05 PM at the Los Angeles Convention Center, California. Tickets for the event and registration for the panel are currently available through Anime Expo’s official channels. There have been no official announcements regarding a livestream of the event.

Konami has remained tight-lipped about the release date for Silent Hill f, and this panel may offer fans a glimpse into when the next title in the psychological survival horror franchise will launch. Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
