TL;DR
  • Silent Hill f moved one million copies globally within 72 hours of release.
  • The new entry swaps foggy America for feudal Japan filled with floral body horror.
  • Strong sales prove the franchise can thrive with both remakes and original stories.

Konami’s latest psychological horror game Silent Hill f has sold over one million copies worldwide in its first three days. The publisher announced the milestone today without breaking down numbers by platform or region.

This marks a triumphant return for the franchise after years of dormancy. Silent Hill f launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC as the first new mainline entry since 2012’s Silent Hill: Downpour.

The game takes players to historical Japan, trading the foggy American town for a village consumed by flowers and fungal body horror. Neobards Entertainment developed the title with scenario writing by Ryukishi07, creator of the When They Cry visual novel series.

Silent Hill f‘s strong debut builds on momentum from last year’s Silent Hill 2 remake by Bloober Team. That reimagining reminded players why they missed the series, setting up perfect timing for this fresh entry.

Players report the main story takes around seven to nine hours to complete. The game leans more toward action than classic Silent Hill titles, with frequent combat encounters and weapon durability systems. Some fans recommend playing on Story difficulty to maintain the horror atmosphere without combat frustration.

The sales figure puts Silent Hill f among the strongest horror game launches this generation. Recent Resident Evil titles have shown the appetite for quality horror experiences, and Konami successfully tapped into that demand.
