‘Silent Hill Townfall’ Officially Revealed, Releases Later This Year [Trailer]

Konami weren’t waiting until the Silent Hill Transmission to unveil the new trailer for Silent Hill Townfall. Dropping during the Sony State of Play, the new trailer reveals the game’s protagonist, Simon Ordell, who is called back to the island of St. Amelia in Scotland to ‘put things right’.

What he encounters is a town lying quiet beneath a heavy fog, seemingly abandoned but not at rest. All he has on him besides his clothes are an IV bag and a medical wristband with his name on it. He heads to the town with no leads but the voices from the CRTV he picked up along the way. Venturing deeper and driven to understand his connection to the place and its inhabitants, Simon begins to discover fragments of a past rising to the surface.

Played entirely in first person, Townfall has players exploring, evading, and ultimately trying to survive using a limited set of weapons and tools, including the CRTV, a pocket television used to tune into unstable signals. Evasion is tense; combat is frenetic, while narrative driven puzzles reveal a truth that refuses to stay submerged.

In addition to replaying the trailer from the Sony State of Play, the Silent Hill Transmission delved into Screen Burn’s involvement in the development of Silent Hill Townfall.

Developed by Screen Burn and co-published by Annapurna Interactive and Konami, Silent Hill Townfall will release later this year for PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The release date will be announced at a later time, but pre-orders are now open.
