It has spent a good time since Silent Hill F was presented as part of the revival of the series of four Konami games in 2022. But now that Silent Hill 2’s remake of Bloober of the team is behind us, the editor is directing his attention to his curious follow-up of Japan-Set. And thanks to its last transmission by Silent Hill Transmissions, we have a new mysterious trailer and some more clues about what is in the store.
During his initial announcement of 2022, Konami revealed that Silent Hill F is being developed by Neobards Entertainment (which has previously served as a support study for the Evil Resident Evil Games of Capcom), with a design of creatures and characters from Kera, and a script of when Crity Writer Ryukishi07. And courtesy of his last update, now we know a little more.
Silent Hill F is, for example, set in the 1960s, its events that take place in the rural city of Ebisugaoka, based on Kanayama, Gero, in the prefecture of Gifu. Here, we find our protagonist Shimizu Hinako, a “common teenager” who suddenly finds his house wrapped in fog and changed “horrible.” As Silent Hill is played, he will explore a city that no longer recognizes, resolves puzzles, fights strange enemies and will finally have to make a “beautiful but terrifying” decision that is in the heart of the game.
That idea of ”Beauty in Terror” is an issue that Konami returned repeatedly throughout his latest episode of transmissions, explaining that although Silent Hill F retains the elements of the psychological horror of the fans of a long time will be associated with the series, his scenario allows him to deal with some more classically Japanese ideas, such as the notion that “something becomes too beautiful and perfect, instead it becomes unnecessary.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” “.” ”
It also spent a little time addressing the remarkable change of Silent Hill F of the titular city that has been the focus of the series since its debut in 1999. Sharing its own perspective, Ryukishi07 explained that although Silent Hill can be considered a physical place with a dark story, it is also a series “about the characters of the characters that fight with evil within sin, sin, sin, and conflict in a conflict visual”. And this, he said, is a concept of silence that retains the hill, and adds: “It is an entrance door to the psychological battles of the human mind.”
Konami also confirmed the return of former composer Silent Hill Akira Yamaoka, although this time he will only create music for the Ebisugaoka fog world. The music for his other world (known as the dark sanctuary in Silent Hill f) will be composed of Kensuke Inage, whose musical loans include Tekken 8, Samurai Showdown and Star Fox Guard. In a shared message during the transmission, Inage explained that their compositions will use “images of the sanctuaries, combining the old music of the Japanese court with environmental echoes”, all intertwined with techniques destined to connect the player with the “agonies, internal conflicts, the fear and other emotions” of the protagonist.
In other places, Konami joked with “creatures that really infiltrate the psyche of the players”, along with the Easter eggs so that a long time fans discover, despite the new Silent Hill F scenario and that is more or less everything we are obtaining for now. Silent Hill F does not yet have a release date, but will reach PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, and Konami says he will have “much more to share in the future.” Until then, there is a new trailer, which you can see above.
Silent Hill F was one of Silent Hill’s new games that will be revealed in 2022. PlayStation 5 Freebie Silent Hill: The Short Message and the remake of Silent Hill 2 of the Bloober team launched last year, and his fourth project, Silent Hill: Townfall, is being developed by Stories Unlold and the observation developer and the observation developer. Annapurna Interactive is still ready to serve as editor of the last game, despite a “mass exodus” of personnel at the end of last year.
