Silent Hill Transmission March 2025: Everything Announced and Revealed for Silent Hill f

Author : Andrew Mar 15,2025

Konami's latest Silent Hill Transmission unveiled Silent Hill f, a chilling new entry in the beloved horror franchise, transporting players to 1960s Japan.

First announced in 2022 as a game set in a "beautiful, therefore terrifying" world, Silent Hill f is penned by Ryukishi07, the acclaimed writer behind the Higurashi and Umineko visual novel series. This latest reveal offers a deeper look into the game's unsettling atmosphere.

Silent Hill f: Finding Beauty in Terror

PlayKonami's new trailer and details highlight the game's core concept: "finding the beauty in terror." Players will face a crucial, terrifying yet beautiful choice within the game's 1960s Japanese setting. While the nature of this decision remains shrouded in mystery, the story unfolds around Shimizu Hinkao, an ordinary teenager whose life is irrevocably altered when her town is enveloped in fog and undergoes a horrific transformation. Hinkao must navigate this unrecognizable landscape, solving puzzles, battling strange enemies, and ultimately confronting a life-altering choice. This original story offers a welcoming entry point for newcomers while including Easter eggs to delight longtime fans.

The game is set in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka, inspired by the real-world location of Kanayama, Gero, in Gifu Prefecture.

A New Vision of Horror

PlayCreature and character designer kera shared insights into the game's horrifying aesthetic, citing *Silent Hill 2* as a major influence. While aiming for a distinct Japanese feel, kera emphasized the challenge of creating new horrors while staying true to the *Silent Hill* spirit. The design process focused on creating a unique atmosphere, even if it deviates from the familiar blood-soaked, rusty environments of previous installments.

A Symphony of Fear

The soundscape of Silent Hill f will be a crucial element, blending the talents of veteran Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka and Kensuke Inage (known for his work on the Dynasty Warriors series). Yamaoka and Inage will craft the music for the Fog World and Otherworld, respectively. Inage described his contribution as unsettling yet beautiful, incorporating elements of ancient Japanese court music and ambient sounds to evoke the protagonist's internal struggles and emotions.

While a release date remains unannounced, Silent Hill f is confirmed for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
