Find out how many hours of gameplay Silent Hill f offers and why multiple playthroughs are worth your time.
Silent Hill f launches on September 25, 2025, exclusively for PlayStation 5, bringing a new chapter to the long-running horror series. Set in 1960s Japan, the game blends psychological terror with a dense, atmospheric world. But how long will it keep you busy? Here’s a breakdown of its playtime, plus details on alternate endings and New Game Plus.
Silent Hill f Playtime: How long one run takes
Most Silent Hill f reviewers report an average playtime of about 12 to 13 hours. Our first run even took 15, since we explored everything in detail. Your actual time will depend heavily on playstyle, chosen difficulty, and your experience with the genre. Players who take time to explore every corner and soak in the details may need longer.
For trophy hunters and completionists, total playtime climbs higher. Expect 20+ hours for a 100% run. However, there are no official figures yet.
Multiple Endings and New Game Plus
As is tradition for the series, Silent Hill f features several alternate endings. There are five in total, determined by the choices you make along the way. Whether protagonist Hinako finds redemption or descends into madness depends directly on your decisions.
Seeing all five endings requires multiple playthroughs. That’s where the integrated New Game Plus mode comes in. It unlocks extra exploration options and modified boss fights, keeping subsequent runs fresh and challenging. One of the endings even includes a bizarre sci-fi twist – a nod to the series’ infamous “UFO ending.”
Background and game world
Silent Hill f is set in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka, a foggy Japanese city in the 1960s. You play as high school student Hinako Shimizu, whose world slowly unravels. The setting balances beauty and decay – a central theme in the story.
The story comes from Ryukishi07, a renowned writer of psychological horror. A key focus lies in the interplay of gameplay and narrative: combat, puzzles, and choices all reflect Hinako’s inner struggles and shape her journey forward.
