Silent Hill f to be released on September 25 - trailer shows what players can expect

Konami has announced the release date for Silent Hill f: The new installment of the horror series will be released on September 25, 2025. The new trailer not only shows cutscenes, but also direct gameplay for the first time. The action is embedded in an oppressive, surreal atmosphere.

First impressions of the gameplay

Between the story sequences, several gameplay excerpts from Silent Hill f can be seen: Protagonist Hinako moves carefully through narrow alleys, uses melee weapons such as an iron bar, and dodges attacks. The game mechanics are still presented in a reserved manner, but the visual style and atmosphere leave an impression - this is what a Silent Hill should look like.

The longer the trailer runs, the more the decay comes into focus. Red plant-like structures spread out in the surroundings and slowly cause everything to decay. Instead of quick moments of shock, Silent Hill f (at least in the trailer) relies more on oppressive images, disgust and an oppressive mood that gradually builds up.

Acoustically, too, everything remains reduced: few loud screams, little dramatic music, but slow creaking and wafting sounds. The game seems less interested in scaring and more interested in creating discomfort - and doing so continuously and insidiously. So the trailer makes it clear: Silent Hill f doesn't necessarily just want to shock, it wants to get stuck in your head.
