It's been a good long while since Silent Hill f was unveiled as part of Konami's four-game series revival back in 2022. But now that Bloober Team's superb Silent Hill 2 Remake is behind us, the publisher is turning its attention to its curious 1960s Japan-set follow-up. And thanks to its latest Silent Hill Transmissions stream, we've got an eerie new trailer and a few more hints at what's in store.

After more than two years in the shadows, Konami has finally shown off more of the next Silent Hill game. Silent Hill f will be the first mainline game in the iconic horror series since 2012’s Downpour, and while it carries on the tradition of providing intense psychological horror in corrupted, fog-filled locations, it breaks free from the titular town of previous games. Instead, Silent Hill f will follow an all-new teenage protagonist in a town set in 1960s rural Japan.

Announcing the delay through a press statement was a bad decision, and Apple should instead have gone through official channels. Kuo referenced the well-known "Antennagate" PR crisis when the iPhone 4 launched in 2010, and the way that then Apple CEO Steve Jobs handled it. Jobs personally responded to multiple customer emails, and then Apple held a pre...
