Overview

  • Konami’s new mainline entry from NeoBards Entertainment is scheduled to release on September 25, with a digital deluxe edition unlocking on September 23 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
  • Eurogamer reports some retailers have broken street date, with players posting evidence of early physical copies in use and warning others to avoid potential spoilers.
  • Director Al Yang says this installment is more action-focused than past games and that difficulty was tuned to suit both longtime fans and new players.
  • Series producer Motoi Okamoto rejects “soulslike” comparisons, saying many systems are drawn from classic Silent Hill design rather than that subgenre.
  • Set in 1960s Ebisugaoka, Japan, the game integrates psychological themes into mechanics such as a combat-linked sanity meter replenished at shrines, with contributions from writer Ryukishi07, designer Kera, and composer Akira Yamaoka.
