Details regarding the review embargo for Konami and NeoBards Entertainment‘s upcoming survival horror game, Silent Hill f, have been revealed.
Fans of the long-running Silent Hill series can look forward to hearing what critics have to say about the first new mainline entry since Silent Hill: Downpour was released in 2012. The game takes place during the 1960s in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka, Japan, where high school student Hinako Shimizu finds herself in a town overcome by fog and grotesque monsters.
What Is the Review Embargo Date for Silent Hill f?
The official Twitter/X Metacritic account has reported that the review embargo for Silent Hill f is expected to be lifted in just over a week from today, which would be on September 22, 2025, a day after the early access Deluxe Edition launch and three days before the official release date. The timing is likely at around 7 AM PDT / 10 AM EDT / 3 PM BST / 4 PM CEST.
Additionally, the pre-load for Silent Hill f is expected to go live on the PlayStation Store on September 21, 2025, for those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition and on September 23, 2025, for those who pre-ordered the Standard Edition. It will come with the latest update pre-installed. Meanwhile, those who purchased a physical copy of the game will need to download the day one update. The file size of the PS5 version of Silent Hill f (36.637 GB) is notably less than the size of the PS5 version of the Silent Hill 2 remake (50.535 GB).
Recently, Silent Hill f officially received an M18 rating in Singapore by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA),, hinting at the disturbing themes and graphic violence players can expect upon its release. Players will encounter corpses, mutilated bodies, and bloody environments. During combat, enemies are shown being impaled, slashed, and dismembered, with blood staining the walls and floors.
Silent Hill f is set to be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.
