Konami is gearing up to expand the Silent Hill franchise for the first time in over ten years with the upcoming release of Silent Hill f. After some teasing, the game’s details were officially uncovered during a Transmission event in March. This installment appears set to redefine the series, as it will not center around a specific location, but rather be a concept, taking place in 1960s Japan.
Although Konami didn’t announce a release date for Silent Hill f during its reveal, there is hope it will arrive before the end of 2025. Retailers seem to agree, as pre-orders for this long-awaited mainline Silent Hill game—following 2012’s Downpour—went live shortly after the event concluded. Below are the key details about pre-ordering Silent Hill f, including where to find it for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Where to Pre-Order Silent Hill f
While Konami has not yet provided a release date or specific pre-order details for Silent Hill f, they have directed eager fans to various retailer pages for early wishlist options. If you’re looking for a physical copy, pre-orders are already up through several retailers, though the arrival date remains uncertain due to the absence of a release date.
No additional editions or pre-order bonuses have been announced yet, but that may change once we have more information about the release date.
There’s been speculation that Silent Hill f might be exclusive to the PS5, but that’s not the case. The upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake is a PS5 exclusive for now, with no clear timeline for its availability on Xbox Series X|S or other platforms. In contrast, Silent Hill f will launch simultaneously on both PS5 and Xbox, marking a notable departure from previous exclusivity.

What We Know So Far About Silent Hill f
Konami has shared a mix of intriguing and unsettling details in the debut trailer for Silent Hill f. It follows the lead character, Shimizu Hinkao, as she finds herself in a nightmarish version of her hometown. The game hints at a significant choice that Shimizu will need to confront, though players likely won’t discover the specifics until they’re navigating that decision themselves.
The setting of 1960s Japan is confirmed, and a warning on the official Silent Hill f website suggests that this title won’t be for the faint of heart, with the potential to be one of the darkest games in the series to date. As for the meaning of the ‘f’ in the title, that remains a mystery for players to interpret, especially given the enigmatic nature of the Silent Hill lore.
