Silent Hill f makes history as the first game in the franchise to receive an 18+ rating in Japan. As revealed in the Japanese-language trailer, the game boasts a Mature rating in the US, PEGI 18 in Europe, and a CERO:Z rating in Japan. While this certification is subject to change during development, it marks a significant departure from previous entries. Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, and Silent Hill: The Room all received CERO:C ratings (15+), a trend also followed by many other titles in the series, both Japanese and Western releases. Even the Silent Hill 2 Remake, despite its mature Western ratings, received a CERO:C rating in Japan.
Konami's recent Silent Hill Transmission focused entirely on Silent Hill f, the first mainline entry in 13 years. Announced in 2022, the game transports players to 1960s Japan, where they follow Shimizu Hinako, a teenager grappling with societal pressures. The narrative is penned by Ryukishi07, the creator of the acclaimed When They Cry visual novel series.What's the best Silent Hill game?

The reveal trailer showcases Hinako's harrowing journey, depicting her distress through vivid imagery of blood, wounds, and a torn school uniform. While primarily showcasing cutscenes, the trailer offers glimpses into the game's unsettling atmosphere, monster designs, and a unique Otherworld seemingly populated by blood-red flowers, a departure from previous iterations. Currently, there's no release date for Silent Hill f, and no new information was shared regarding No Code's Silent Hill Townfall.
