Silent Hill f has already achieved a major sales milestone less than a week after its September 25 launch. The new mainline entry has already crossed the 1 million sales mark.
Konami states the 1 million sales number reflects digital and physical copies across all platforms since September 26. That means Silent Hill f achieved this milestone in four days. This early sales success complements a very positive critical reception to the game; Silent Hill f currently boasts an 86 percent critical score on Metacritic. Silent Hill f is the first mainline entry in the series in over a decade, and unfolds in a rural Japanese village during the 1960s. It stars a teenage girl named Hinako who must fight for survival after a sinister fog sweeps through her town and transforms its residents into monsters.

These sales numbers must be especially reassuring for Konami as it continues its successful resurrection of the popular horror IP, following last year’s also well-received Silent Hill 2 remake. In terms of the series’ future, Konami still has the mysterious Silent Hill: Townhall from Observation developer No Code and co-published by Annapurna Interactive. Most recently, Konami announced that a remake of the first Silent Hill game is in development. There’s Return to Silent Hill, a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2, which recently premiered its first trailer.
