"Silent Hill f: Ideal Entry for New Fans"

Silent Hill f: The Perfect Spinoff for Newcomers

Silent Hill f is a standalone game designed to be accessible to newcomers while still captivating long-time fans of the series. If you're curious about how this game fits into the broader Silent Hill universe and what's in store at the upcoming Anime Expo 2025, you're in the right place.

An "Independent Work from the Series"

A Standalone Game That Can Be Enjoyed by Newcomers

Silent Hill enthusiasts have been pondering the place of Silent Hill f within the franchise's timeline. However, Konami clarified this on Twitter (X) on May 20, stating that Silent Hill f is an independent work outside the main series. This makes it the perfect entry point for those new to the series.

While it stands alone, the developers have woven subtle nods to previous games into Silent Hill f, as highlighted during the Silent Hill Transmission in March. This adds a layer of depth for fans familiar with the series.

The connection to the iconic town of Silent Hill might seem stretched since the original series is set in 1990s USA, while Silent Hill f takes place in 1960s Japan. Yet, Konami has promised to maintain the psychological horror essence that the franchise is renowned for, even in this new setting.
