As fans continue to puzzle overSilent Hill F’s latest gameplay footage,the game’s rating suggests the wait for answers shouldn’t be much longer. Announced three years ago, Konami held its cards close to the chest when it came to the nextSilent Hillgame but following the recent trailer, players have more questions than ever before. With an original setting that seems entirely separate from the previous games, there’s a great deal of excitement building aroundSilent Hill F, especially after the success of theSilent Hill 2remake.
Per the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB),Silent Hill Fhas officially been rated 17+, suggesting that a release date may be sooner rather than later. It’s not unprecedented for age restrictions to be finalized in the months building up to launch and while it’s certainly not confirmation that Konami has a date locked in, it does imply that it could be in the near future. Having said that, schedules can be adjusted so fans shouldn’t take it as a definite until such a time as the developer makes it official.
