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 fans wondered for some time where the upcoming Silent Hill f will fit in the timeline of the series, but a tweet from Konami posted to Twitter (X) on May 20 clarified that Silent Hill f is a standalone game outside of the main series, and as such can be enjoyed by newcomers.
Despite this, however, the developers previously still added subtle hints from past games in the game, as stated during the Silent Hill Transmission in March.
The connection between this game and the series’ titular town would be a difficult stretch as the original Silent Hill series was set in the 1990s USA, while Silent Hill f is set in 1960s Japan. Although Konami will be straying away from its classic setting, they reassured fans that they will bring the same psychological horror they are known for in this game.

Konami has been tight-lipped about Silent Hill f’s release date, and this event may give fans a hint on when the next title of the psychological survival horror franchise may come.
