Silent Hill f is selling faster than the Silent Hill 2 Remake so far
Fog in hell.
Silent Hill is doing good business for Konami at the moment. The just-released Silent Hill f is off to an even stronger start, sales wise, than the widely acclaimed Silent Hill 2 Remake released last year.
Konami announced today that worldwide shipments of Silent Hill f have passed 1m units - a figure that includes shipments of packaged versions of the game and downloaded versions sold. That figure was recorded by Konami on 26th September, a day after the game's release (25th September).
Konami announced a similar milestone for the Silent Hill 2 Remake three days after the game's October 2024 release. The remake went on to pass the 2m sales mark in January this year, and Konami announced in May that Silent Hill, as a franchise, had passed the 10m sales mark.
These sales figures aren't massive but are encouraging nonetheless. And together with the quality of the recent Silent Hill games - Silent Hill f received a hearty four-stars in our review, and the Silent Hill 2 Remake received five stars in our review - they combine to create something of a renaissance effect for the iconic horror series. Which, in more plain terms, I expect means "there's more to come".
