In a chilling new trailer unveiled during today’s Sony State of Play, fans of psychological horror were left breathless—Silent Hill f is set to launch on September 25, 2025, bringing with it a fresh wave of terror wrapped in the iconic fog of Silent Hill.
The emotionally gripping trailer offered a longer and darker glimpse into the unsettling events awaiting players. We’re introduced to the protagonist, Hinako Shimizu, and her circle of friends living quiet, ordinary lives in the seemingly peaceful town of Ebisugaoka. That tranquility shatters instantly when an eerie, unnatural fog rolls in—plunging the world into chaos and distorting reality in horrifying ways.
Among the most haunting visuals: grotesque red flowers blooming through pavement cracks, disturbingly lifelike dolls jerking unnaturally as they hunt Hinako down, and scenes drenched in bloodshed and paranormal dread. Despite the madness around her, Hinako proves herself a resilient survivor—wielding a crowbar with surprising effectiveness against the horrors closing in.Originally announced in 2022, Silent Hill f transports players to the turbulent 1960s in Japan. The narrative masterfully contrasts the elegance of its setting with the brutality of its content, crafted by renowned Japanese writer Ryukishi07. This game stands apart from previous entries in the franchise, offering a self-contained experience that dives deep into psychological trauma, crime, and vengeance.
Notably, Silent Hill f marks Japan's first M-rated title in the storied Silent Hill series. Early reports warn of graphic depictions including impalement, disfiguring violence, a character burned alive in a cage, and stomach-turning imagery involving exposed entrails. It's not for the faint of heart—but for horror aficionados, it promises to be unforgettable.
Brace yourself. The fog returns on September 25, 2025.
