Silent Hill: Townfall Names Pilotpriest as Composer, Debuts First Track 'Home'

The early release highlights an audio-first push designed to rekindle the series’ unnerving mood.

Overview

  • Developer Screen Burn announced Anthony Scott Burns, known as Pilotpriest, will score Silent Hill: Townfall and released the first song, Home, with footage of the town of St. Amelia.
  • Burns said the collaboration lets him experiment to create music that feels emotionally honest and true to Silent Hill’s spirit.
  • Sound designer Byron Bullock, who worked on Alien: Isolation, is contributing to the game’s audio.
  • Townfall follows new protagonist Simon Ordell in St. Amelia, a setting inspired by Scotland, and uses a first-person view with both melee and gun combat.
  • The game is slated for PlayStation 5 in 2026, and the soundtrack reveal signals a promotion phase that leans on sound to set tone and build anticipation.
