Silent Hill is back, or at least, it's on its way back. After years of silence (no pun intended), fans of the seminal survival-horror series finally have something to look forward to. In fact, they have several new games to look forward to. A total of three Silent Hill games have been announced alongside a game-series hybrid and another movie. In this particular look ahead, we'll be focusing on Silent Hill F, the oddly-titled new installment from Neobards Entertainment.
As for platforms, none were mentioned during its reveal, but we can reasonably assume that it will land on PC as well as Xbox and PS5. Last-gen platforms, however, seem less likely the further away we are from its launch. Unlike the Silent Hill 2 remake, which will launch as a timed PlayStation exclusive, no such stipulation was mentioned for Silent Hill F. For now, we'd bet it's coming to all major platforms at once, perhaps with the exception of Switch, which is proving less capable of handling current-gen games as time goes on.
Though the team has only lent a hand to horror games in its past portfolio, there's reason to believe it's ready to take the next step and lead the development of a major sequel. The game's story will be penned by famed Japanese writer Ryukishi07, the author of the acclaimed When They Cry visual novel series. Additionally, Motoi Okamoto, who previously worked at Nintendo from 1998 to 2007, has been named a producer on the project.
As piano music plays and the world rapidly decays, a young woman, seemingly a different one than that who was mourning, runs for her life from an unseen threat. The trailer then cuts to a girl--it's unclear if it's a third one or one of the others shown before--as she moves across still, foggy waters atop a float made of vibrant flowers. The flowers grow from her head and vaguely recall Midsommar's fateful final moments, though it arguably surpasses that grotesque final scene with one of its own: The girl's face peels off her head like a sticker that's no longer adhesive. Yuck.

There's seemingly something musical going on here, though it'll take some time before we can piece it together better.
Silent Hill 2 is being remade from the ground up by Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, The Medium) and will come to PS5 first for a period of exclusivity. Silent Hill Townfall is a likely smaller project from the horror legends at No Code (Observation, Stories Untold). Silent Hill Ascension is an upcoming MILE, or massively interactive live event, which blurs the line between video game and serialized spectator horror. For something outside of games, Silent Hill 2 is also being adapted into a movie--the third movie in the series. It's an exciting time to be a Silent Hill fan.
