Silent Hill f Director Wants it to be “a Succulent Silent Hill Meal” For New and Returning Players

As the September 25 release of the survival horror game “Silent Hill f” approaches, it’s becoming evident that

Yang discussed how the action-oriented nature of the game makes it simpler to attract a fresh audience to the Silent Hill franchise, as those unfamiliar with the series might prefer the quicker, smoother gameplay over its original slower and clunkier combat style. This shift in focus on combat has also allowed the developers at NeoBards greater flexibility when it comes to tuning balance and difficulty settings.

According to Yang, the latest installment in the Silent Hill series has a greater emphasis on action compared to its predecessors. However, this change was made to make the game’s difficulty more appropriate for players who are familiar with the classic Silent Hill games.

As a fellow gaming enthusiast diving into the chilling world of Silent Hill, I can’t help but feel a thrill at the demo unveiled at Gamescom 2025. The creators, NeoBards, have thoughtfully crafted three difficulty options for us to explore. For those new to the franchise or seeking a more relaxed entry into the survival horror experience, there’s the Story mode, designed just for you. By offering these choices, NeoBards aims to ensure that Silent Hill remains accessible and enjoyable no matter what your comfort level might be within the realm of terror.

In simpler terms, Yang explained that they aim to cater to long-time fans who are excited for a traditional “Silent Hill” experience by saying, “This is just what I was hoping for!” Yet, they also wish to offer something enticing for newcomers or those seeking a fresh twist. The core Silent Hill ambiance and feel will remain, but they plan to tweak the gameplay mechanics, ensuring that it doesn’t become too repetitive.

As a devoted fan, I’m excited about the shift towards action-packed titles in the Silent Hill franchise. Okamoto, from Konami, explains this choice by collaborating with NeoBards for the game. They’ve been partnering with multiple studios for various Silent Hill projects, like teaming up with Bloober Team for the Silent Hill 2 remake last year. These collaborations allow each Silent Hill project to deliver unique twists on survival horror, ensuring a diverse and captivating experience for fans like me.

Okamoto mentioned that the ‘Silent Hill’ series has collaborated with various organizations. For the remake, they teamed up with Bloober Team. Future installments may reflect the unique styles of whoever they decide to work with next.

Okamoto made it clear in an interview that labeling Silent Hill 3 as a “Souls-like” game was not only misleading but also insincere. He pointed out that the Silent Hill series has always incorporated similar combat styles and, specifically, that Silent Hill 3 included its own stamina meter.

The game titled “Silent Hill f” is currently being created for personal computers (PC), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
