Konami belatedly realises hey, we'd have one thing right here, as the primary correctly new Silent Hill in 13 years sells over 2 million

Konami has been step by step easing itself again into the enterprise of creating correct videogames lately and, in addition to reviving the Steel Gear collection with the Grasp Assortment and a very good remake of MGS3, has each remade Silent Hill 2 and co-developed Silent Hill f, the primary correctly new entry within the collection since 2012’s poorly acquired Downfall.

And the excellent news? It was nice! We’re by no means going again to the halcyon days of Workforce Silent, however PCG’s Elie Gould reckoned this was “a real return to type” that acquired a stonking 90% in our evaluate: “A recreation that not solely can stand proudly shoulder to shoulder with different goliaths within the collection, however one that’s courageous sufficient to take dangers and deploy modifications to set the groundwork for what I hope to be the brand new commonplace of Silent Hill video games going ahead.”

Konami has now introduced that Silent Hill f, launched in September 2025, has bought over two million copies worldwide, as of April 22 this 12 months. That is much more spectacular within the context of the sport itself, which isn’t a mainstream motion blockbuster like your Resident Evils however a way more refined horror expertise set in Nineteen Sixties Japan and woven across the tradition’s mythology. Protagonist Hinako and the alternatives she faces all through, and the way in which her interior fears manifest, has satisfied even the hardcore Silent Hill-ers that this collection now has its id again, and an actual future forward of it.

The sport was developed by Neobards Leisure with Konami’s assist, and naturally printed by Konami. I do not wish to tempt destiny right here, however I am very a lot liking what I have been seeing from Konami in latest instances. Sure the MGS Delta and Silent Hill 2 remakes had been arguably too trustworthy at instances, however I completely loved each and am simply glad to see one of many nice growth homes getting a bit of its mojo again.

Clearly I am not the one one. Delta took the Steel Gear collection to over 65 million copies bought and, whereas that is Konami’s big-budget golden goose, a brand new Silent Hill shifting over two million reveals that the viewers is there when the writer delivers real high quality. For all I like Resident Evil, Silent Hill was at all times the cool child various and a genuinely distinct, way more unsettling fashion of horror: and with these form of numbers, fingers crossed it isn’t 13 years earlier than we see one other.
