Silent Hill f Review Embargo Lifts A Few Days Ahead Of Release

Details regarding the review embargo for Konami and NeoBards Entertainment‘s upcoming survival horror game, Silent Hill f, have been revealed.
Fans of the long-running Silent Hill series can look forward to hearing what critics have to say about the first new mainline entry since Silent Hill: Downpour was released in 2012. The game takes place during the 1960s in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka, Japan, where high school student Hinako Shimizu finds herself in a town overcome by fog and grotesque monsters.
What Is the Review Embargo Date for Silent Hill f?
The official Twitter/X Metacritic account has reported that the review embargo for Silent Hill f is expected to be lifted in just over a week from today, which would be on September 22, 2025, a day after the early access Deluxe Edition launch and three days before the official release date. The timing is likely at around 7 AM PDT / 10 AM EDT / 3 PM BST / 4 PM CEST.
Additionally, the pre-load for Silent Hill f is expected to go live on the PlayStation Store on September 21, 2025, for those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition and on September 23, 2025, for those who pre-ordered the Standard Edition. It will come with the latest update pre-installed. Meanwhile, those who purchased a physical copy of the game will need to download the day one update. The file size of the PS5 version of Silent Hill f (36.637 GB) is notably less than the size of the PS5 version of the Silent Hill 2 remake (50.535 GB).
Recently, Silent Hill f officially received an M18 rating in Singapore by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA),, hinting at the disturbing themes and graphic violence players can expect upon its release. Players will encounter corpses, mutilated bodies, and bloody environments. During combat, enemies are shown being impaled, slashed, and dismembered, with blood staining the walls and floors.
Silent Hill f is set to be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.

2025 NFL Week 2 betting – Monday Night Football: Buccaneers-Texans and Chargers-Raiders

The NFL’s Week 2 slate wraps up with a “Monday Night Football” doubleheader. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Houston Texans (-2.5, 42.5) to get things started (7 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN), followed by the Las Vegas Raiders hosting the Los Angeles Chargers (-3.5, 46.5) in the nightcap (10 p.m. ET on ESPN).

The Buccaneers went on the road and got a big performance from rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka in a 23-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1, while the Texans couldn’t get anything going in a 14-9 road loss to the Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams.
The Buccaneers are the odds-on favorite to win the NFC South at -200, while the Texans now find themselves co-favorites with the Jacksonville Jaguars at +185 in the AFC South.
Houston is a 2.5-point favorite in the second game of Monday night’s doubleheader.
Buccaneers-Texans game bets
Buccaneers +2.5 (Even)
Maldonado: This is on the premise that Houston doesn’t get its act together fast. The Texans were stuck in neutral in Week 1 — bottom three in success rate and a league-worst third-down rate (22%) — and played way too much 11 personnel behind a shaky offensive line. If adjustments aren’t made, C.J. Stroud could be in for another long night. Tampa’s defense just held Atlanta to 2.5 yards per carry and made Michael Penix Jr. settle for a quick-passing game script. With Vita Vea clogging lanes and Haason Reddick screaming off the edge, Nick Chubb isn’t likely to save Houston, especially with no role in the passing game. Baker Mayfield isn’t perfect, but he has Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka to work with, and his defense can carry the weight. If the Texans don’t fix things quick, the Bucs could be the ones cashing in on Sunday night.

Trump administration launches pilot program for air taxis : NPR

The Trump administration has unveiled a pilot program to accelerate the use of electric air taxis, a move aimed at establishing U.S. dominance in airspace technology.
The Department of Transportation on Friday said the Federal Aviation Administration’s Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) will develop “new frameworks and regulations for enabling safe operations” and form partnerships with private sector companies as well as with state and local governments.
“The next great technological revolution in aviation is here,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement on Friday. “The United States will lead the way, and doing so will cement America’s status as a global leader in transportation innovation. That means more high-paying manufacturing jobs and economic opportunity.”
The program will include at least five pilot projects and will run for three years after the first project is up and running, the department said. The program will also include piloted and unmanned operations that focus on electric air taxis, also called an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft or eVTOL, that can help with delivering cargo and supplies. The aircraft will also be used to test their effectiveness in emergency situations, such as airlift and medical transport.
The program would allow the testing of aircraft both unmanned and piloted, and which may be capable of carrying passengers, before they complete FAA certification, a process that can take years. Aircraft must have FAA certification before carrying cargo or passengers when flying commercially, according to federal regulations.
This is not the first time the FAA has considered air taxis for future use.
In June 2023, the FAA greenlit a plan from Joby Aviation, a California-based aviation company, to begin test flights of an electric flying taxi prototype. The company on Friday announced plans to participate in the pilot program.
“We’ve spent more than 15 years building the aircraft technology and operational capabilities that are defining advanced aerial mobility, and we’re ready to bring our services to communities,” Joby’s chief policy officer Greg Bowles said in a statement. “We look forward to demonstrating our aircraft’s maturity and delivering early operations in cities and states nationwide.”
Another company, Archer Aviation, also said Friday that it plans to participate in the program.
“We’ll demonstrate that air taxis can operate safely and quietly,” Archer founder and CEO Adam Goldstein said in a statement. “These early flights will help cement American leadership in advanced aviation and set the stage for scaled commercial operations in the U.S. and beyond.”
The FAA said it is accepting proposals and a minimum of five participants will be selected, according to an unpublished federal notice about the program that is set to become public on Tuesday.
