Silent Hill f: Rumors of Early Access, Embargo Lifts, and a Potential $1 Deal
Excitement is building for Silent Hill f, the latest installment in the beloved horror franchise. While fans eagerly await the official release on September 25, 2025, rumors of early access and potential review leaks have surfaced, adding fuel to the hype. Plus, there's a chance to snag it for a mere $1 through a special promotion!
A Chance to Get Silent Hill f for $1?
Konami is working hard to bring the Silent Hill franchise back to the forefront, and Silent Hill f is a key part of that effort. Set in Japan, the game promises a fresh nightmare. Gaming retailer Fanatical is offering a "Very Positive Mystery Bundle" that could allow lucky gamers to acquire it for only $1.
The Fanatical bundle costs $1 for a random game guaranteed to be rated 'very positive' on Steam. A Triple-A Game Pack, including Silent Hill f, Hell is Us, or Cronos: The New Dawn, is a possible prize. With ten pulls for $8, the theoretical cost is less than $1 per game. Even without Silent Hill f, the bundle promises well-reviewed PC games, including potentially overlooked indie gems.
Silent Hill f Review Embargo Lifts Soon
Details surrounding the review embargo for Silent Hill f, developed by NeoBards Entertainment and published by Konami, have emerged. The embargo is expected to lift on September 22, 2025, a day after Deluxe Edition early access begins and three days before the official launch.
Those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition can preload the game on September 21, 2025, while Standard Edition pre-loads go live on September 23, 2025. The PS5 version will be significantly smaller (36.637 GB) than the Silent Hill 2 remake (50.535 GB). Recently, Silent Hill f received an M18 rating in Singapore, signaling intense themes and graphic violence.
Alleged Review Leak Claims "Genuinely Spectacular" Experience
An alleged review leak has surfaced, giving Silent Hill f a near-perfect score of 9.5/10. The supposed reviewer called it "genuinely spectacular" and highlighted a story continuation in New Game+ and the presence of multiple endings.
The leak originated from a now-deleted Reddit post by someone claiming to be Elena Chapella, a writer for DualShockers. She claimed to have finished the game and is already playing New Game+. According to her, combat is challenging, requiring strategic battle selection, and she strongly advises heeding content warnings due to the game’s intensity. The game is rated M for Mature 17+, with warnings for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Partial Nudity.
The reviewer emphasized that the game offers a completely new experience in the franchise while retaining the essence of Silent Hill. "It's completely unique to any other SH game you've ever played, but it still feels like a SH game." She mentioned that the story is found in "your journal or from documents you find. The journal also updates frequently".
It's crucial to remember that this information is unverified until official reviews are published. However, if accurate, Silent Hill f might deliver a truly remarkable horror experience on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
