Konami’s Silent Hill comeback is looking pretty healthy, bro. The official Silent Hill account has confirmed that Silent Hill f has passed 2 million copies worldwide, while Silent Hill 2 Remake has now reached 6 million units worldwide.
For Silent Hill f, the figure covers both digital and physical copies as of April 22, 2026. For Silent Hill 2 Remake, the 6 million total is counted as of April 24, 2026, and includes shipped units, store downloads, and subscription service numbers.
That is a strong sign that horror games still have serious pull, especially when the brand has legacy power. Silent Hill was quiet for years, but between the remake and the new Japan-set spinoff, Konami seems to have found a way back into the conversation without relying only on nostalgia.
Why Silent Hill f matters for anime and horror fans
Silent Hill f launched on September 25, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game already had a fast start, passing 1 million cumulative worldwide shipments and downloads just one day after release.
The big hook is its creative team. The story is written by Ryukishi07, best known for Higurashi: When They Cry, which instantly makes the project interesting for anime, visual novel, and psychological horror fans. If you grew up on creepy village mysteries, paranoia, and characters slowly losing their mind, this one is very much in that zone.
Creature and character designs are handled by kera, while Motoi Okamoto produced the game. Development was done by Neobards Entertainment, the studio behind Resident Evil Re:Verse.
For Malaysian and SEA players, the platform spread is important. PS5 is already common among console kaki here, Xbox Series X|S has its niche, and PC is still the most flexible route thanks to Steam. Horror games also tend to perform well in our circles because they are fun to stream, react to, and argue about in Discord after midnight.
Silent Hill f is also expanding beyond the game
The franchise is not stopping at the game release. Silent Hill f has also inspired a manga adaptation, which launched on April 22. Ryukishi07 is writing an exclusive new ending for the manga, with Ame Gōkin handling the artwork.
That is the part anime and manga fans should watch closely. A new ending means the manga is not just a straight copy-paste of the game. If the adaptation lands properly, it could become a second way for fans to experience the story, especially for readers who like horror but do not necessarily want to play a full survival horror game themselves.
One odd bit of news from earlier: the planned standard Silent Hill f Original Soundtrack and the Konami Style Limited Analog Record Set, both previously scheduled for December 17, were cancelled in October due to various circumstances.
Silent Hill 2 Remake keeps carrying the legacy
Meanwhile, Silent Hill 2 Remake reaching 6 million worldwide is a big win for Bloober Team and Konami. The remake launched in October 2024 for PS5 and PC via Steam, bringing back one of the most famous psychological horror games ever made.
The original Silent Hill 2 first released on PlayStation 2 in September 2001 in North America and Japan, followed by Xbox in December 2001 and PC in December 2002. More than two decades later, the remake clearly found both returning fans and new players who only knew the game by reputation.
Bloober Team, known for Layers of Fear, Observer, Blair Witch, and The Medium, is also working with Konami on a new project. With these sales numbers, it would not be shocking if Konami keeps pushing Silent Hill harder from here.
For SEA horror fans, that is good news. We are finally getting a Silent Hill era where the games are available on modern platforms, the anime-adjacent storytelling has stronger hooks, and the franchise feels relevant again instead of just being old-school legend status.
