Synthesized from 8 Yomimono stories · updated 1h ago

Konami's Silent Hill franchise has two active projects in different stages. Silent Hill f, released in September 2025, is a psychological horror game set in 1960s rural Japan, written by Ryukishi07. It sold over 2 million copies worldwide and received a Metascore of 86 on PS5. In June 2026, Konami added a free collaboration costume based on Mio Amakura from Koei Tecmo's Fatal Frame: Crimson Butterfly Remake, available to all owners of the game via patch 1.20. The update is purely cosmetic and does not include new scenarios or game modes. A 50% off sale on Steam and the PlayStation Store for both Silent Hill f and Silent Hill 2 accompanied the update, along with a bundle discount on Steam for Silent Hill f and Fatal Frame: Crimson Butterfly Remake. Silent Hill f also won Best Video Game Trailer at the Golden Trailer Awards in May 2026.

Silent Hill: Townfall, developed by Screen Burn (formerly No Code) and co-produced with Annapurna Interactive, is a first-person horror game set on the fictional Scottish island of St. Amelia in 1996. Players control Simon Ordell, who uses a handheld device called the CRTV to navigate, solve puzzles, and avoid monsters. The game features a peek system that lets players look around corners using the CRTV, revealing enemy positions while creating tension. Townfall is rated Mature 17+ by the ESRB for bloodshed, jump scares, and combat with pistols, shotguns, and axes. It launches on September 24, 2026, on PlayStation 5, PC via Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

An unrelated retrospective by Game Spark examined the early 2010s indie horror rise, citing Cry of Fear and Amnesia as key titles that reclaimed horror from big-budget sequels, but this piece does not directly address Silent Hill.
