It’s only been a few days since Silent Hill f came out, and in a month, fans will be able to read it.
Konami announced a novel adaptation of the survival horror game releasing October 30. Written by author Kuroshiro, who adapted Midnight Wanderers and NG for the page, this Silent Hill f adaptation will cover the game’s core story and provide new material not featured. As a fan of Kuroshiro’s work, Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto recalled feeling “overjoyed when Kadokawa suggested him as the novelization author.”

This is the one of the few novels for the Silent Hill franchise without illustrations. Save for books based on the 2006 and and 2012 films, the series’ literature has been light novels based on specific games and films, art and guidebooks, or manga telling an original story. Okamoto hopes this new novel appeals to game fans or horror book lovers “who [don’t] play games but enjoys reading books.”
Developed by NeoBards Entertainment, Silent Hill f centers on 1960s high school Hinako Shimizu as she navigates the fictional, fog-covered town of Ebisugaoka. The game’s received a warm reception so far and is part of Konami’s larger push to revive Silent Hill, which has included a remake of Silent Hill 2 (and its 2026 film adaptation Return to Silent Hill), a remake of the first game, and the brand new Silent Hill: Townfall.
