About

James receives a letter seemingly from his late wife and, driven by the hope of seeing her again, travels to the place where they shared countless memories: Silent Hill. There, at the lake, he encounters a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to her…

“My name…is Maria,” the woman smiles. Her face, her voice… She’s just like her.

Play what many consider the scariest game in the series, now enhanced with stunning graphics and terrifying sound on modern consoles. It’s a true masterclass in psychological horror.
