Overview

• Silent Hill F releases on September 25 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
• Developed by NeoBards with a story by Ryukishi07, the game shifts to 1960s Ebisugaoka in Japan and follows teen protagonist Hinako Shimizu.
• Gameplay centers on weighty, stamina-driven melee combat with no firearms, a pivot reviewers say changes the series’ traditional slow-burn tension.
• Critics highlight rich period visuals, strong audio design, and a replay-focused narrative with several endings, with a first playthrough around 10–15 hours.
• Coverage notes limited enemy variety and reports brief pauses on PS5 Pro’s Enhanced mode that may need post-launch fixes.
