Konami announced Monday that Silent Hill f, the latest entry in its long-running psychological horror series, has surpassed one million units sold worldwide. The milestone, achieved on Sept. 27, accounts for both physical and digital copies across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Windows.

The accomplishment underscores the continued popularity of the franchise, which first debuted in 1999. Konami described Silent Hill f as a “beautiful yet horrifying” addition to the series, with a narrative penned by Ryukishi07, best known for Higurashi and Umineko.

A Modern Take on Classic Horror

Set in 1960s Japan, Silent Hill f introduces players to Shimizu Hinako, a high school student navigating the pressures of societal expectations. Her story unfolds in the fog-draped town of Ebisugaoka, where she encounters grotesque creatures, painful choices and supernatural mysteries that test her will to survive.

The game blends traditional Silent Hill psychological horror with elements of Japanese folklore, a departure from the American small-town setting of earlier entries. Designs by artist kera contribute to the game’s unsettling atmosphere, while longtime series composer Akira Yamaoka and Kensuke Inage crafted its haunting soundtrack.

The game’s launch trailer, available on YouTube, highlights its combination of striking visuals and creeping dread. Konami credits the creative team, led by producer Motoi Okamoto, for pushing the series into new thematic territory while maintaining its reputation for psychological depth.

Silent Hill f’s sales milestone suggests strong engagement from both longtime fans and newcomers. The franchise’s reputation for blending fear with emotional storytelling appears to be a major factor in its continued relevance, even more than two decades after its debut.
