Silent Hill f made an appearance at Gamescom Opening Night Live this evening with a brand new trailer, and our first listen at the English actor portraying main character Hinako, Suzie Yeung.
The new trailer opens with Hinako waking up in a dark room, seemingly confused. As she wanders, it seems she’s in some kind of shrine, and ends up following a figure with a blue lamp deeper in. She’s then attacked by those freaky dolls we’ve seen in past trailers, and we see shots of a number of other unsettling rooms in the shrine.
The trailer cuts to another scene at an old house on a rainy day, which Hinako seems to recognize as her own. We see her with her clothes torn and bloody, and a creepy woman’s voice giving instructions to kill everyone, and then Hinako confronting one of her classmates. All-in-all, not nearly as gory as the last trailer, but still plenty unnerving.
Silent Hill f is set in 1960s Japan, with a story written by Ryukishi07 intended to contrast beauty and horror. First announced in 2022, we’ve since learned that it’s standalone from the other Silent Hill games, and that it’s Japan’s first M-rated Silent Hill game, and comes with some frankly disgusting content warnings. We’ve also recently learned it’s expected to be combat-heavy, with series producer Motoi Okamoto saying, “Challenging action games are gaining popularity among younger players nowadays, so I believed that if we implemented such elements into the game, it would resonate well even with people who are new to the series.”
Silent Hill f will be out shortly, on September 25 of this year, on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. We played it for five hours earlier this month, and you can read our preview right here.
