Silent Hill: Townfall Announces Sept. 24 Release

Screen Burn’s 1996-set Scottish horror leans on first-person stealth plus puzzle design to steer the revived franchise in a new direction.

Overview

  • Konami and Screen Burn confirmed on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, that Silent Hill: Townfall will release on Sept. 24, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC.
  • The game is set in the abandoned coastal town of St. Amelia and stars protagonist Simon Ordell as players explore fragmented memories and local clues.
  • Townfall plays in first person and emphasizes stealth, scarce ammunition, and puzzle solving, including a portable CRT device that reveals memories and enemy movement.
  • Screen Burn says it intends to preserve Silent Hill’s psychological-horror core while deliberately subverting franchise expectations to deliver surprises.
  • Early hands-on previews praised the game’s atmosphere and puzzles and framed Townfall as a high-stakes follow-up to the franchise’s recent revival, with more coverage expected at Gamescom ahead of release.
