Konami and NeoBards Entertainment have released a new update for Silent Hill f, adding a new ‘Casual’ difficulty setting for easier gameplay. The update also includes a feature that lets players skip sections when starting a New Game+, faster stamina recovery for the character Hinako, and fewer enemies in some parts of the game.
Konami’s update for the new Silent Hill f includes numerous bug fixes. Players can now choose the ‘Casual’ difficulty setting right away, or the game will offer it if they die repeatedly. The update also lets players skip sections on subsequent playthroughs (New Game+), but Konami assures fans this won’t affect the story or endings.
The recent update to Silent Hill f makes the game generally easier by adjusting several elements. Stamina now recharges faster, there are fewer enemies, and some previously unavoidable fights have been shortened. Even on the Hard difficulty setting, Hinako will take slightly less damage.
The latest installment, Silent Hill f, had an incredible launch, selling over a million copies within its first day. This makes it a faster-selling title than the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, which is being developed by Bloober Team. Bloober Team is also currently working on a remake of the very first Silent Hill game. Fans can also look forward to a new movie, Return to Silent Hill, based on Silent Hill 2, which is scheduled to hit theaters on January 23rd.
