Silent Hill f is a standalone game that is perfect for newcomers to 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 have been curious about where the upcoming Silent Hill f fits into the series' timeline. However, a tweet from Konami posted on X (formerly Twitter) on May 20 clarified that Silent Hill f is a standalone game, separate from the main series. This means that newcomers can dive right into the experience without needing to know the broader lore.

Although it's a standalone title, the developers have woven subtle nods to past games into Silent Hill f, as mentioned during the Silent Hill Transmission in March. This adds a layer of depth for long-time fans while keeping the narrative accessible for new players.

The connection between Silent Hill f and the series' iconic town is a bit of a stretch, as the original Silent Hill games were set in 1990s USA, while Silent Hill f takes place in 1960s Japan. Despite moving away from the classic setting, Konami has promised to deliver the same psychological horror that the series is renowned for.
