Silent Hill F
is an upcoming survival horror video game developed by NeoBards Entertainment and published by Konami Digital Entertainment. It is the eighth mainline game in the ''Silent Hill'' franchise, following '' Silent Hill: Downpour'' (2012).

The company invited Ryukishi07 to write the story and brought back composer Akira Yamaoka, who had worked on the music for multiple previous ''Silent Hill'' games. Announced in 2022, ''Silent Hill f'' is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S in September 2025. Developme ...
