'Silent Hill f': the trailer leaks and revives the classic terror of the saga

Konami presented the opening cinematic for Silent Hill f at the Anime Expo 2025, its new psychological horror game set in Japan.

The scene was quickly leaked on social media and soon captivated the franchise's most loyal fans. Although the video is not of the best quality, it confirms that this installment aims straight at the heart of classic Japanese horror.

A new nightmare with a Japanese essence

Silent Hill f launches on September 25 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

This setting allows the team to incorporate elements of traditional Japanese culture and blend them with a dense atmosphere, where fog and silence become constant threats.

An expert creative team in horror

One of the most notable aspects is that the story is written by Ryukishi07, a renowned author of horror visual novels.

With him on board, the script promises moments filled with tension, dark symbolism, and a strong psychological component, something already evident in the first three minutes of the leaked video.

A leaked cinematic that did not go unnoticed

The opening cinematic was officially presented at Konami's booth during Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles.

However, just a few hours later, it appeared online without authorization and was shared by media outlets and content creators. Social media exploded and the community celebrated the unsettling tone it conveys from the very first second.

Spoilers?

The leak shows the protagonist Hinako walking through the streets of Ebisugaoka, a city shrouded in thick fog and filled with macabre symbols.

The preview not only reveals the aesthetic but also small details about the gameplay mechanics, which will combine puzzles, exploration, and encounters with grotesque monsters.
