Silent Hill 2 Remake has attracted more than 6 million players worldwide since its release, marking a strong return for the classic survival horror title [1]. Meanwhile, Silent Hill f, the first wholly new Silent Hill game since 2012’s Downfall, has sold over 2 million copies globally as of April 22, 2026 [1, 2].
Silent Hill f, set in 1960s Japan, follows teenager Hinako Shimizu through a story deeply rooted in Japanese culture and mythology, combined with melee-focused combat mechanics [1, 2]. Neobards Entertainment developed the game with Konami's support, and Konami published it [2]. The game launched in September 2025 and represents the series’ first substantial revival after roughly a decade of dormancy [1, 2].
IGN reviewed Silent Hill 2 Remake with an 8 out of 10 rating, calling it "a great way to visit — or revisit — one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror" [1]. Silent Hill f received a 7 out of 10 score from IGN, which praised its fresh setting and dark story but noted its melee combat "takes a big swing that doesn’t quite land" [1]. PC Gamer’s Elie Gould described Silent Hill f as "a game that not only can stand proudly shoulder to shoulder with other goliaths in the series, but one that is brave enough to take risks and deploy changes to set the groundwork for what I hope to be the new standard of Silent Hill games going forward" [2].
Two actors from Silent Hill f have been appointed ambassadors for the real-life Japanese location that inspired the game’s setting [1].
Konami also announced a 40% discount on the Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill f Dual Pack, pricing it at $71.99 in an effort to boost sales further [1].
