Silent Hill f The First In Konami's Horror Series to Get an 18+ Rating In Japan

Author : Scarlett Mar 17,2025

Silent Hill f makes history as the first game in the franchise to receive an 18+ rating in Japan. The Japanese-language reveal trailer, unveiled recently, confirmed mature ratings across multiple territories: Mature in the U.S., PEGI 18 in Europe, and CERO:Z in Japan. While this rating is subject to change as development continues, it marks a significant departure from previous entries. Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, and Silent Hill: The Room all received CERO:C ratings (15+ in Japan), with other international titles typically receiving CERO:C or CERO:D (17+). Even the Silent Hill 2 Remake, despite its mature Western ratings, only earned a CERO:C rating in Japan.

Konami's recent Silent Hill Transmission focused entirely on Silent Hill f, the first mainline entry in thirteen years. Announced in 2022, the game transports players to 1960s Japan, where they follow Shimizu Hinako, a teenager grappling with societal pressures. The narrative is penned by Ryukishi07, the creator of the acclaimed When They Cry visual novel series.

The reveal trailer offers glimpses of Hinako's distress, showcasing bloody wounds and a torn school uniform. While gameplay was limited, the trailer provided extended looks at the game's setting, monster designs, and what appears to be a unique "Otherworld" environment, characterized by blood-red flowers instead of the series' typical rusty aesthetic.

Currently, there's no release date for Silent Hill f, and the presentation offered no updates on No Code's Silent Hill Townfall.
