It wasn’t long ago that the future of the Silent Hill series looked bleak. After the cancellation of Silent Hills due to a falling out between Konami and Hideo Kojima, fans feared the franchise was over.
However, things have dramatically improved recently. The critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2 remake by Bloober Team was a huge success, and now NeoBards has followed up with Silent Hill f.
This marks a real turnaround for Silent Hill, and it’s also been a good year for Konami, who recently released a successful remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, selling over a million copies.
I haven’t had time to play Silent Hill f yet – I’ve been enjoying Hades 2 – but I’ve purchased it and plan to start playing this week. It’s great that it supports Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing seamless play across consoles and PC.
I’m also hoping to see a release of the Silent Hill 2 remake on Xbox soon, as it was initially a PlayStation 5 exclusive, and that exclusivity period should be ending shortly.
Looking ahead, Bloober Team is continuing to work on the series with a remake of the original Silent Hill game, though details are scarce at this time, including which platforms it will be available on.
