Summary

  • Silent Hill f set in 1960s Japan is so terrifying that even Australia banned it at first.
  • Fans are at risk of fraud from fake Silent Hill f betas, as Konami warns of impersonation accounts.
  • Konami emphasizes to only trust official sources like the game's website or Twitter for information to avoid fraud.

Silent Hill f is set to be the first new entry into the mainline Silent Hill franchise in almost 15 years.

Set in 1960s Japan, the title looks horrifying and contains the uncomfortable themes that helped the series stand out from its survival horror contemporaries. The game looks so terrifying, in fact, it has already been banned, and then unbanned in Australia.

Given just how spooky the game looks and how long the wait has been for a new Silent Hill title, excitement within the community is palpable. So much so that players are being duped into signing up for fake Silent Hill f betas, giving up precious personal information in the process, leading Konami to issue a warning.

Konami Reiterates That There Is No Silent Hill f Beta, And Fans Shouldn't Sign Up To Fake Ones

In a new post from the Japanese Silent Hill Twitter account, Konami has been warning players about a wave of fake Silent Hill betas being offered to unsuspecting fans.

"It has been confirmed that there are impersonation accounts on social media that advertise fake events, including closed beta tests for *SILENT HILL f*, luring users to fraudulent websites to input personal information," it said. "Using these fake websites may lead to the leakage of personal information or fraud, so please exercise caution."

Konami then warns players that official Silent Hill f information will come from one of only two sources: the game's official website, or its official Twitter account.

These fake betas are just the latest in a wave of attempts to catch unsuspecting gamers out. Earlier this year, two games were released on Steam that added malware to players' PCs, bypassing all of the platform's checks. Last week, it was also confirmed that two mods for the popular drug-dealing simulator, Schedule 1, contained malware.

Be careful out there.
