Silent Hill f Exists Outside the Main Series Timeline
A Self-Contained Experience for First-Time Players
Fans speculated about Silent Hill f's placement in the series chronology until Konami's May 20 Twitter (X) post confirmed it as an independent story, making it accessible to new audiences.
While intentionally standalone, the developers have woven subtle references to previous games into Silent Hill f, as revealed during March's Silent Hill Transmission event.
The game breaks from tradition with its 1960s Japan setting—a stark contrast to the original series' 1990s American backdrop. Konami promises this departure maintains the signature psychological horror the franchise is known for.
