The first original game in the series since 2012’sDownpour,Silent Hill fis attempting a pretty big shakeup, with a historical Japan setting and a story by visual novel author Ryukishi07. Now, it’s announced the latest talent to join the team: the voice actor for its protagonist.
Suzie Yeung, who voicesYuffie Kisaragi in theFF7 Remaketrilogy, will also lend her voice to protagonist Shimizu Hinako. She’s a prolific voice actor with plenty of experience in the video game industry, plus several major anime credits.
Suzie Yeung Will Be Voicing The Main Character
Recently, Suzie Yeung has also lent her voice to Fuuka inPersona 3 Reload, Chitose inLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the Invisible Woman and HERBIE inMarvel Rivals, Ochette inOctopath Traveler 2, and Textbox-chan inDate Everything.
Yeung has also had roles in multiple Hoyoverse projects, includingZenless Zone Zero(Piper Wheel),Honkai: Star Rail(Hanya), andGenshin Impact(Eula). Additionally,she was part of the English dub casts for animeJujutsu Kaisen(Tsumiki Fushiguro),Attack on Titan(Lara Tybur), andChainsaw Man(Makima).
So, with a resume like that, it’s easy to see why Konami chose Suzie Yeung as the English voice of their protagonist. It was previously announced thatKonatsu Kato would play Hinako in the Japanese dialogue, while voice actors for other languages have yet to be confirmed.
Silent Hill f Still Looks Creepy And On Brand
What’s New In The Story Trailer
The reveal of Suzie Yeung asSilent Hill f’s lead voice actor was accompanied by a three-minute story trailer, which you can watch above courtesy ofPlayStationon YouTube.The trailer is decidedly cryptic, as previous trailers have been; there’s lots of talk about destroying one’s old self so a new self can be born.
What really shines here, though, is the voice acting.This is, after all, the first time we’ve heard Hinakospeak in English, and she sounds perfectly in line with otherSilent Hillprotagonists - confused, introspective, and thoroughly freaked out.
We also get a fresh look at some ofSilent Hill f’s creepy enemy encounters, as Hinako fights off a strange, marionette-like enemy, and another shrouded in shadow, but with some weird, entrail-like appendages squirming around its stomach.
As the trailer continues,we learn a little more about Hinako’s story. It’ll apparently revolve around her being forced to kill residents of her hometown and her childhood friends - although under what supernatural circumstances is still a little unclear. There’s a motif of remote communication, with phone calls and radio broadcasts recurring throughout.
The trailer ends on a chilling image: Hinako encountering a shadowy version of herself, standing stock still in a half-lit room. There’s a lot we still don’t know aboutSilent Hill f, but with arelease date only a little over a month away, we won’t have to wait long to find out.
