If you're new to the chilling world of Silent Hill, Silent Hill f is the perfect standalone game to dive into. This title, announced to be an "Independent Work from the Series," offers a fresh yet terrifying experience that doesn't require prior knowledge of the franchise. Let's explore how Silent Hill f fits into the broader Silent Hill universe and what's in store at the upcoming Anime Expo 2025.
An "Independent Work from the Series"
A Standalone Game That Can Be Enjoyed by Newcomers
Silent Hill fans have been curious about the placement of Silent Hill f within the series' timeline. However, Konami's tweet on May 20 clarified that Silent Hill f is designed to be a standalone experience, making it accessible for newcomers. This means you can jump right into the eerie atmosphere without worrying about missing out on previous entries.
Despite its standalone nature, the game still includes subtle nods to the original series, as mentioned during the Silent Hill Transmission in March. While the classic Silent Hill games were set in 1990s USA, Silent Hill f transports players to 1960s Japan. This shift in setting promises a new kind of psychological horror, yet Konami assures fans that the game will retain the series' signature terrifying essence.
