Against the odds and all expectations, Konami has managed to breathe new life into the legendary Silent Hill franchise, delivering a double dose of horror that’s thrilling fans and critics alike. The recent launch of Silent Hill f—a bold new entry set in 1960s Japan—has not only racked up over one million units sold at launch but has also drawn widespread acclaim for its storytelling, exploration mechanics, and unforgettable characters, according to GameBraves and other gaming outlets. But that’s not all: in a move that’s left fans buzzing, Konami has quietly rolled out a Silent Hill Dual Pack, bundling Silent Hill f with last year’s Silent Hill 2 Remake for the PlayStation 5, offering both nostalgia and new nightmares at a significant discount.
The story behind Silent Hill f is as compelling as the game itself. Developed by NeoBards Entertainment, with a haunting narrative penned by Ryukishi07 and creature designs by the artist kera, the game transports players to Ebisugaoka, a fictional province in 1960s Japan. Here, players step into the shoes of Shimizu Hinako, a high school student whose life takes a dark turn when she’s pulled into the Otherworld by the series’ iconic fog. What follows is a chilling journey through supernatural horrors and psychological trauma—classic Silent Hill, but with a distinctly Japanese twist.
Reviewers have been quick to praise Silent Hill f for pushing boundaries, especially when it comes to its brutal subject matter. According to GameBraves, the game “pushes the envelope with regards to brutal subject matter,” but never at the expense of deep, thoughtful storytelling. Exploration is richly rewarding, and the cast of characters has been described as some of the most memorable in the series’ history. For fans who crave replayability, critics recommend committing to multiple New Game Plus playthroughs to unravel all the narrative threads.
But the surprises didn’t stop with the game’s successful launch. On October 21, 2025, Konami announced the arrival of the Silent Hill f & Silent Hill 2 Dual Pack for PlayStation 5. The bundle appeared with little fanfare on digital stores, catching even die-hard fans off guard. The Standard Edition of the Dual Pack is priced at $99.99 USD, while the Deluxe Edition—targeted at the most devoted followers—costs $199.99 USD. The latter isn’t just about the games; it sweetens the deal with digital art books and soundtracks for both titles, the Pyramid Head Mask (Pizza Box) for Silent Hill 2 Remake, and the Pink Rabbit costume for Silent Hill f. For collectors and series enthusiasts, these extras are a tempting draw.
According to GameBraves, the bundle’s rollout began in Japan before it quietly made its way to the PlayStation Store globally. The Dual Pack includes two versions: a Standard Edition with both base games, and a Deluxe Edition combining the deluxe releases of each title. While the bundle doesn’t introduce any new content, it does gather all the original extras from the deluxe editions, making it the most comprehensive Silent Hill package to date.
From a financial perspective, the bundle is a steal. In Malaysia, for example, the Standard Edition is priced at RM386. Separately, Silent Hill f and Silent Hill 2 Remake cost RM282 and RM304, respectively. That’s a savings of roughly RM200 if you opt for the bundle—no small change for fans eager to experience both games. Similar savings are expected in other regions, making the Dual Pack an attractive proposition whether you’re a newcomer or a longtime devotee of the series.
One catch: for now, the Dual Pack is exclusive to PlayStation 5. Silent Hill 2 Remake remains a PS5-only title, despite persistent rumors about possible Xbox or Nintendo Switch 2 versions. Speculation had swirled that Konami might announce new ports around the remake’s first anniversary, but as of late October 2025, no official confirmation has surfaced. Fans have also been keeping a close eye on hints of a “Born From a Wish” DLC, with clues reportedly discovered within the base game itself. Yet, Konami has remained tight-lipped, offering no announcements about the much-anticipated expansion.
For PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, there’s an added perk: Silent Hill 2 Remake is already available to download from the catalog. That means those with an active subscription can dive into one of horror gaming’s most revered titles without any extra cost. For everyone else, the new Dual Pack represents the best value yet—a fog-shrouded invitation back to the haunted streets and twisted realities that have defined the franchise for decades.
The release of Silent Hill f marks a significant moment in the series’ evolution. While the franchise has always been known for its psychological horror and surreal storytelling, this latest entry stands out for its willingness to tackle even darker themes and its fresh, Japanese setting. The creative team behind the game has managed to strike a delicate balance between honoring the series’ roots and pushing it into new, unsettling territory. As GameBraves puts it, “Silent Hill fans are eating well.”
The commercial and critical success of Silent Hill f has also fueled renewed interest in the franchise as a whole. With over one million units sold at launch, it’s clear that there’s still a massive appetite for survival horror—especially when it’s delivered with the kind of polish and narrative depth that NeoBards Entertainment, Ryukishi07, and kera have brought to the table. The accolades trailer released by Konami highlights just how enthusiastically the game has been received, with reviewers and players alike lauding its innovative approach to classic horror tropes.
As for what comes next, the future of Silent Hill looks brighter—and perhaps more terrifying—than ever. The Dual Pack’s release signals Konami’s commitment to keeping the series in the spotlight, and the ongoing rumors about new ports and DLC suggest that there’s plenty more to come. For now, though, fans have plenty to sink their teeth into, whether they’re exploring the foggy streets of Ebisugaoka for the first time or revisiting the haunting memories of Silent Hill 2.
In the world of survival horror, few franchises can claim the enduring legacy of Silent Hill. With Silent Hill f and the new Dual Pack, Konami has proven that the fog has yet to lift—and for fans, that’s the best news of all.
