At the 2025 Anime Expo held in Los Angeles in early July, producer Motoshi Okamoto, screenwriter Dragon Knight 07, and composer Akira Yamaoka discussed the upcoming “quiescenceLing F” and its positioning in the series. Talk aboutterrorWhen creating elements, Dragon Knight 07 admitted that the narrative technique of this work is completely different from the creation of his novel.
According to “Famitsu”, Dragon Knight 07 abandoned the usual multi-theme composite character creation method and instead focused on a single core theme to develop the narrative. Although the core theme has not yet been revealed, he revealed that the game will combine the series’ iconic psychological horror and supernatural horror elements, initially showing a state of integration, and then gradually separating like salad dressing. “Take Silent Hill 2,” he explained, “monsters are indistinguishable from reality. Only by delving into the spiritual world of Silent Hill and James Sunderland can players discern the boundary between reality and illusion. ”
In Silent Hill F, psychological horror and supernatural horror will remain chaotic at the beginning. As players explore, the mysteries of Ebisugaoka Town will gradually be revealed, and players will need to piece together the whole story by themselves. Dragon Knight 07 emphasized that the charm of this game lies in the organic release of narrative information, and players take the initiative to fill the gaps reserved by the developer.
Finally, he concluded, “Silent Hill F doesn’t just pursue a creepy experience. As with all Silent Hill works, this story can evolve into a story of sadness or love, depending on the player’s perspective. “Although the story is not set in Silent Hill, the Japanese cultural genes and the source of realistic inspiration make this work in line with the essence of the series.
