Konami clears up some confusion and shares some details on Silent Hill f and how it relates to the rest of the series.

The State of Play Silent Hill f trailer included the introduction of new secondary characters, a variety of grotesque enemies, and a previously unseen weapon. One character is addressed as Sakuko, while two other unnamed characters dressed in student uniforms are shown alongside protagonist Hinako. Audiences see Hinako defending herself against a knife-wielding disfigured enemy before wandering through a field of what appear to be students posed as scarecrows. She then explores an old school that has become overgrown with blood-red plantlife and is overrun with similarly deformed students. Hinako is shown using a lead pipe, one of the most familiar weapons in the Silent Hill games, to battle the creatures. Players also get a first-ever look at what appears to be a Japanese naginata, or bladed polearm weapon, which Hinako carries while approaching a monstrously transformed Sakuko.
