Silent Hill 4: The Room may not be as outdated as the previous entries in the series, but having been released almost 20 years ago, it would definitely do with a visual overhaul.

Konami's famous horror series is returning in several different forms including a new game from a Japanese studio.

Silent Hill is on its way back. After many years spent away--the last mainline game came in 2012--there's suddenly a ton of Silent Hill projects on the way. Though it won't be the first out of the gate, the one that seems to have the most buzz around it is Silent Hill F, a new mainline sequel from a studio in Japan comprised of some survival-horror veterans. Here's everything we know about Silent Hill F.
Given that we know very little about the game so far, it's sensible that the public doesn't yet have a release date for the game. We can surmise it's probably at least another year away, given how the Silent Hill 2 remake is expected to land in 2024. It seems unlikely both would launch in the same year.
As for platforms, none were mentioned during its reveal, but we can reasonably assume that it will land on PC as well as Xbox and PS5. Last-gen platforms, however, seem less likely the further away we are from its launch. Unlike the Silent Hill 2 remake, which will launch as a timed PlayStation exclusive, no such stipulation was mentioned for Silent Hill F. For now, we'd bet it's coming to all major platforms at once, perhaps with the exception of Switch, which is proving less capable of handling current-gen games as time goes on.
Silent Hill F comes from Neobards Entertainment, a team that has largely been a support studio in the past. The studio has worked on several Capcom games, including Resident Evil 2, 3, 7, and ReVerse, the multiplayer mode tied to Resident Evil Village, as well as titles like Marvel's Avengers and No Straight Roads.
Though the team has only lent a hand to horror games in its past portfolio, there's reason to believe it's ready to take the next step and lead the development of a major sequel. The game's story will be penned by famed Japanese writer Ryukishi07, the author of the acclaimed When They Cry visual novel series. Additionally, Motoi Okamoto, who previously worked at Nintendo from 1998 to 2007, has been named a producer on the project.
Because we've only seen the game pop up once, we have just the one trailer to go off of, but it's a fun one for those who like the series' penchant for mystery and weirdness. In the trailer below, which notably does not include imagery taken from the game itself, we see a Japanese village blanketed in fog. Following that, we see what looks like a student standing by a roadside memorial of some kind. As the trailer jumps around between different scenes, it morphs

is an exciting upcoming game from developer Ninja Theory, and details about its release are finally coming together after years of anticipation. As a follow-up to 2017's, dives back into the story of Senua, a Celtic warrior struggling with visions and voices that have haunted her since her youth.

Grab your fedora, whip, and pistol because Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is plotting a course to consoles soon. After being announced via a small teaser in 2021, we’re now finally starting to put the pieces together on the mystery that is this new title from MachineGames. While many very popular and successful games have been inspired by the Indiana Jones film franchise, including Uncharted and Tomb Raider, Indy himself has yet to star in a true action-adventure game worthy of his legacy. Will this game be the one to remind audiences who the true pioneer of set-piece action and globe-trotting puzzle-solving is? Only time will tell, but we can at least guess based on all the clues we’ve unearthed.
