A few years ago, Konami announced that it was working on multiple new Silent Hill projects, including a mysterious game known only as Silent Hill f. Although there wasn't much information to take away from its reveal trailer, this new mainline installment immediately attracted the attention of many fans due to it being the first-ever Silent Hill game to be set in Japan. Konami revealed that Silent Hill f would be developed by NeoBards Entertainment and written by Higurashi: When they Cry creator Ryukishi07, though it didn't provide a proper release window for the game.
