Silent Hill f, the next mainline entry in Konami’s long-running horror franchise, is set to launch this September with a new setting and gameplay.


Developed by NeoBards Entertainment, the game shifts the series to 1960s Japan, offering players a fresh take on Silent Hill’s signature psychological horror.


From early previews, the game appears to focus more heavily on combat than previous entries, though it still promises the kind of disturbing atmosphere that leaves you second-guessing whether to keep the lights off while playing. NeoBards seems intent on striking a balance between Silent Hill’s slow-burn terror and a more action-driven approach.


Release Date and Early Access

Silent Hill f will officially launch on September 25, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Players who pick up the Deluxe Edition will get a 48-hour head start, with gameplay unlocking on September 23, 2025.

  • US Pacific (PDT): September 24 - 9:00 PM

  • US Eastern (EDT): September 25 - 12:00 AM
