The director's messages have started debates all over again about what the new Silent Hill title is supposed to signify, and it seems like there's a lot of potential good answers.Silent Hill f is the latest new project to join the legendary survival horror series.

In a brief tweet, he opened discussion with fans by expressing his curiosity as to what people think "f" in the title means or stands for. Amusingly, he also noted that he had a running bet at work as to what fans think the title means.

Fans have been curious about the title since the game was announced, as it's quite vague and doesn't follow the traditional title format of the older games. Many answers that have previously been suggested also showed up in the Twitter thread, with responses including words like fungus, fate, flower, or even just five. Another common suggestion is that the "f" stands for "forte" in musical notation, with the "f" being in lower-case and strongly resembling the forte symbol.

Of course, not all the responses were serious, with some fans throwing out silly ideas like "Finally a good one," festival, or even Fortnite. Others showed that the desire for and bitterness over Silent Hills' cancelation hasn't come to an end, with one suggesting that it wasn't an f at all, but rather a medial s, a manner of writing an s sound in Old English, which would make it not Silent Hill f, but Silent Hills. Sadly, this is almost certainly not the case, but the fanbase may never stop wondering at what the canceled game could have been.

Silent Hill f was revealed to the world alongside a slew of other Silent Hill projects currently in the works. In addition to revealing games like Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill: Townfall, media projects like Silent Hill: Ascension and the third film entry, Return to Silent Hill were also announced. It's been a long time since the franchise has been this active, but fans are waiting to see if the new titles can live up to the original games that started it all.

Silent Hill f is currently in development.
