The ESRB rating has been spotted online for the upcoming Silent Hill title, Silent Hill f. The ESRB rating highlights some of the game’s brutal elements and features. The rating notes Players use axes, crowbars, knives, and spears to defend against and kill enemy creatures in melee-style combat. It also reveals that players’ characters can get impaled in the neck and/or get their faces ripped apart. Cutscenes “sometimes depict gore and more intense acts of violence: a character burned alive inside a cage; a woman branded by a hot iron; entrails and sinew displayed on serving platters in fantastical celebration/ceremony; a character sawing off her own arm; a character slicing off portions of a character’s face during a ritual.” All these details paint a picture of how gruesome and gory the game can be expected to be. Silent Hill f will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store. A release date has still yet to be announced. The game takes place in 1960s Japan, in a “secluded town of Ebisugaoka is consumed by a sudden fog, transforming [Hinako’s] home into a haunting nightmare.”
