Silent Hill f is a standalone game that is perfect for newcomers in the series. Read on to learn more about how the game fits into the franchise and its upcoming panel at the Anime Expo 2025.

Silent Hill f is an "Independent Work from the Series"

A Standalone Game That Can Be Enjoyed by Newcomers

Silent Hill enthusiasts have been curious about where the upcoming Silent Hill f fits within the series' timeline. However, a tweet from Konami posted on Twitter (X) on May 20 clarified that Silent Hill f is a standalone game, independent of the main series, making it an excellent entry point for newcomers.

While it stands alone, the developers have not shied away from incorporating subtle nods to past games, as highlighted during the Silent Hill Transmission in March. This approach ensures that while new players can dive in without prior knowledge, long-time fans will appreciate the Easter eggs scattered throughout.

The connection between Silent Hill f and the series' iconic town might be challenging to establish, given the original series was set in 1990s USA, while Silent Hill f transports players to 1960s Japan. Despite this shift in setting, Konami has reassured fans that the game will retain the psychological horror elements that the franchise is renowned for.
