Silent Hill Transmission in March.

As of today, we know that Silent Hill f will be released on September 25, 2025, just a few short months from this reveal at the PlayStation State of Play. This came in the form of a new trailer, which also showed off a select few encounters with some of the terrifying creatures players will run into as they explore the town of Ebisugaoka.

What The New Trailer Reveals For Silent Hill F

The new trailer represents a pretty big reveal for Silent Hill f. It opens with the protagonist, Shimizu, calling out to another character on the balcony of a nearby house. As she walks away, she hears a voice calling her a traitor, and her friend disappears from the balcony. Clearly Shimizu's guilt over some betrayal - real or imaginary - will be a central theme of the story here. In narration, Shimizu talks about much of what we already know about the plot: that most of the town has disappeared, and all that remains is a strange fog and some terrifying monsters.

Then, we get to the meat of the trailer: the monster reveals. First, we see a sort of mannequin-type monster with a twisted body, who gradually lurches towards Shimizu in a narrow alley. We've seen this monster in previous trailers, but here, she's used for a bit of a combat reveal, as we watch Shimizu swing a lead pipe at her in various settings. Briefly, a larger, more rotund monster is seen grabbing Shimizu with a long, clawed appendage.

Shimizu then traverses some fog-shrouded halls, where her classmates lie in twisted poses. When she es by, some of them leap out at her from around corners. Finally, on a bridge, we see what can only be a boss reveal: Shimizu encounters an apparently familiar face Sakuko, hunched over and turned away from her. When she turns around, we see Sakuko's mouth has been torn open in a mess of viscera. She roars, we hear Shimizu being called a traitor again, and the trailer ends.

It's not a long trailer, but it is a fairly revealing one. By far the most exciting aspect of it, though, is the reveal of the release date. September 25 is a lot closer than I expected to see Silent Hill f, and based on what I've seen so far, it can't come soon enough.

Silent Hill F Looks Incredible So Far

Silent Hill Needs An Original Entry

All the trailers thus far have been understated, but Silent Hill f still looks pretty amazing. While I enjoyed the Silent Hill 2 remake well enough, as soon as I finished it, my first thought was, "okay, what's next?" Remakes are all well and good, but I hoped this one was just a proof of concept for Konami, a lead-in to a wider Silent Hill revival with some new original games.

As it turns out, I was right. Silent Hill f is the first original, full-length game in the series in over a decade, and comparing it favorably to Fatal Frame. Frankly, though, at this point, I'm grateful for any chance to inject some originality into the long-dormant franchise. Here's hoping Silent Hill f lives up to the hype.
