Are you new to the world of Silent Hill? Then Silent Hill f is the perfect entry point for you. This standalone game promises an engaging experience that fits seamlessly into the iconic franchise, and we're excited to share more about its unique place in the series and its upcoming panel at Anime Expo 2025.

Silent Hill f: An "Independent Work from the Series"

A Standalone Game That Can Be Enjoyed by Newcomers

If you've been curious about where Silent Hill f stands within the broader Silent Hill timeline, Konami cleared up the confusion with a tweet on May 20. They announced that Silent Hill f is designed as a standalone game, making it accessible and enjoyable for newcomers. Despite its independence, the developers have cleverly included subtle nods to the series' history, as was hinted at during the Silent Hill Transmission in March.

The setting of Silent Hill f marks a significant departure from the series' traditional backdrop. While the original games were set in the 1990s USA, Silent Hill f transports players to 1960s Japan. This shift doesn't mean Konami is abandoning the psychological horror that fans love; they've promised to deliver the same chilling experience in this new setting.

The panel is scheduled for July 4, from 3:15 PM to 4:05 PM at the Los Angeles Convention Center in California. Tickets and registration for the panel are currently available through Anime Expo’s official channels. As of now, there have been no announcements about a livestream of the event.

While Konami has kept details about Silent Hill f's release date under wraps, this panel might offer fans a glimpse into when they can expect the next chapter in the psychological survival horror saga.
