Silent Hill f will offer players 'a beautiful yet terrifying choice,' and I am eager to find out what it’s about.

A new trailer for Silent Hill f has been released, thanks to the recent showing at Silent Hill Transmission. This video game is set in a fictional Japanese city called Ebisugaoka during the 1960s, although a release date has not yet been confirmed. It is intended to be released on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.

Silent Hill f has received more details following its announcement in October 2022. During the presentation event, a three and a half-minute trailer was showcased, providing insights into the story, environment, and the artists involved in its development. The setting of Ebisugaoka is inspired by Gifu Prefecture, with several comparative images between the game world and its real-world inspirations.

The plot revolves around Shimizu Hinako, a teenager who witnesses her town engulfed in a strange fog. In this distorted world, she'll have to face terrifying monsters, solve puzzles, and make crucial decisions to survive. The synopsis suggests that Silent Hill f is ultimately "a story about a beautiful yet terrifying choice."

The game is being developed by Neobards Entertainment, known for its work as a support studio on Capcom's Resident Evil series. The script has been written by Ryukichi07, famous for the well-known horror visual novel series Higurashi When They Cry. Additionally, creature and character design is handled by Kera, a prominent visual artist who has collaborated on Square Enix titles such as Lord of Vermillion and the Romancing SaGa series. The composer Akira Yamaoka, renowned for his work in the franchise, will also bring his musical talent to Silent Hill f.

The idea of setting a Silent Hill game in Japan is fascinating. The trailer evokes a tone similar to that of the horror game series Siren. The premise of having to make "a beautiful yet terrifying choice" in the game, as well as the theme of finding beauty in terror, promises to be intriguing and, at the same time, completely chilling.

For now, there is no release date for Silent Hill f, but it is expected to be available on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
