There is great anticipation for the release of Silent Hill f, the new chapter in Konami’s famous horror series. It marks the return of the franchise with a completely new title. To see how strong the hype is, you only need to look at the Amazon USA best-selling PlayStation 5 games chart, where Silent Hill f holds the top spot.
The game by Konami is even outperforming Ghost of Yotei by Sucker Punch, despite the latter being a single-player exclusive for Sony’s console and developed by a studio highly regarded by PlayStation fans. Even the new sports games from EA, including Madden NFL 26 is trailing behind the upcoming Silent Hill release.
That said, while Amazon’s rankings are large enough to provide a fairly accurate picture of current sales trends, it is important to remember they still reflect the sales of just a single store.
In any case, the news for Silent Hill f is very promising, and early reviews are already excellent, with the Japanese outlet Famitsu awarding it 36 out of 40. Overall sentiment towards the game appears positive, and we will see upon release if it can truly live up to expectations.
In other news, Konami producer Motoi Okamoto confirms Silent Hill f is not a Soulslike, highlighting action horror, stamina meter and combat focus.
