Following the massive success of Silent Hill f<\/strong>, Konami has announced that the game sold over two million units worldwide as of April 22. This includes physical edition and digital sales on all platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by NeoBards Entertainment and published by Konami, Silent Hill f was supposed to follow in the series\u2019 footsteps, with a plot centering on religious cult that pulled the strings in the background. Following numerous discussions between writer Ryukishi07 and producer Motoi Okamoto<\/a>, it was decided that the story would lean more into Japanese mythos, trusting audiences to embrace the experience \u2013 and luckily, it seems to have worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Silent Hill f topped Japanese store charts<\/a> and game awards<\/a>, it also amassed a worldwide following thanks to fan-made memes, art, and theories<\/a>. Even the Japanese actors who lent their talents to the game got in on the action, as most of them have played it to completion<\/a>. Despite its dark themes and atmosphere, Silent Hill f\u2019s success proves that there is still an audience for the franchise\u2019s brand of psychological horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
