Silent Hill f: An "Independent Work from the Series"

A Standalone Game That Can Be Enjoyed by Newcomers

Silent Hill enthusiasts have been curious about the placement of Silent Hill f within the series' timeline. However, a tweet from Konami on May 20 clarified that Silent Hill f is a standalone game, distinct from the main series, making it an ideal starting point for new players.

Although designed to be accessible to newcomers, the game still includes subtle nods to its predecessors, as mentioned during the Silent Hill Transmission in March. The connection to the series' titular town is less direct, as Silent Hill f is set in 1960s Japan, a departure from the original series' 1990s USA setting. Despite this shift, Konami promises to maintain the psychological horror essence that defines the franchise.
