During the same presentation, NetherRealm Studios also shared the reveal for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection as well aiming to ship this year.
Additionally, Silent Hill was also present. Although not a remaster of its older games, it’s a new installment that hits all the right ques of its founding titles. Announced back in 2022, Silent Hill f was teased to be a new entry set within the 1960s. Based in Japan, the game follows the journey of a schoolgirl trapped in the nightmarish realm. The game was confirmed a multiplatform release earlier in March 2025.
From the new trailer at the State of Play this week, Konami reveals that Silent Hill f is now scheduled to release in September 2025. You can watch the new gameplay trailer in the video below:
“As Hinako tries to survive the now fog-wreathed town, she will be faced with decisions that will shape her ultimate fate. Will she choose to embrace elegance and beauty? Or will her path lead her to madness and horror? Is she doomed to succumb to the insanity unfolding before her, or can she face her fears and find a way to escape? The mission statement during development was the following: ‘Find the beauty in terror’.” producer Motoi Okamoto says.
“Visuals and music continue that juxtaposition between beauty and terror. There is the terrible beauty of the game’s monster design – created by the artist kera that marries Japanese horror with the uniqueness of Silent Hill’s previous, terrifying creations – while composers Akira Yamaoka and Kensuke Inage fashion a score that evokes the past but is entirely fitting with this new setting.
He continues: “Puzzles are grounded in psychological anguish and suffering. These are deeply connected to the story by scriptwriter Ryukishi07, as well as elements of Japanese culture, such as scarecrows (which has inspired some of the haunting scenes you’ll see in the trailer).” Adding: “the game features unique combat. The encounters are as challenging as the obstacles that Hinako must overcome in life. The combat will have a heavier focus on melee and be more action-oriented compared to last year’s Silent Hill 2.”
