‘Silent Hill f’ Reaches Two Million Units Sold Worldwide
Konami’s Silent Hill f has hit another sales milestone, having now sold over two million units worldwide as of April 22 since its launch last September. Previously, the game had surprised everyone by selling one million units a day after its launch.
Adding to that is the news that the Silent Hill 2 remake has now surpassed 6 million cumulative players, adding another million since March. This includes the number of copies sold for both physical and digital versions, as well as the number of players on subscription services.
To celebrate, Konami has announced that the dual pack of both games is receiving a 40% discount until May 28 on the PlayStation Store.
Also available for the Xbox Series and PC via Steam, Silent Hill f is the first entry in the series set in Japan, where players take on the role of Shimizu Hinako, a high school student struggling under society’s pressure of expectations. Wandering through her hometown Ebisugaoka, a mysterious fog rolls in and covers the town, revealing a disturbing transformation. Hinako must face horrific creatures, uncover mysteries and confront traumatic decisions that will influence her fate.
Meanwhile, more Silent Hill is due out later this year, courtesy of Screen Burn with Silent Hill Townfall. No release date has been set as of yet, but you can pre-order the game now on PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
