Even Deeper

As you may have noticed, each trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall has followed on directly from the one before, gradually building a picture of what Silent Hill: Townfall truly is. As with any Silent Hill story, plot details are obviously much better experienced and interpreted first hand. With that in mind, we won’t go into too much detail on the events and locations that await Simon in St. Amelia, but we can dive into a few more features and moments revealed in the trailer!

A New Voice in the Static

We are finally able to put a face and name to the voice previously heard on the CRTV from our reveal trailer from the February’s State of Play. An inhabitant of St. Amelia, she’s a nurse from a local family clinic and dedicated to her job. Heard calling out for Simon to return to the island, Zoe can also be heard simultaneously asking him, “what are you doing here?”. For Simon, this is a tough question to answer; St. Amelia is not a place he recognizes, and Zoe is not someone he has encountered before.

Narrative-Driven Puzzles

As with some of Screen Burn’s previous titles, we strive to design puzzles and problems for the player that intertwine with the narrative directly, often telling part of the story in their setup or solutions. There are a few glimpses in the trailer, and some are more grounded and realistic than others. Solving these puzzles isn’t just a way to progress in the game, though, but rather a way to understand the situation Simon finds himself in. Each puzzle has been designed while writing the story, so rather than a separate, unconnected gameplay layer, they’re grounded in the world you’re exploring and contextual to it and the town’s inhabitants. It means each carries a deeper meaning or revelation within them.

A Horror in the Fog

The trailer also gives us our first glimpse of a new creature, seen stalking Simon in the darkness of the Otherworld. With some enemies, combat is an important aspect of survival. In others, evasion is your only option. Using the CRTV and peek mechanic to assess the situation as you navigate, staying out of sight and moving carefully is paramount, as being seen can lead to a terrifying chase and dire consequences.

PlayStation 5 Features

Lastly, we’ve spent a great deal of time looking to utilize the features of the PlayStation 5 and the DualSense Wireless Controller in the game. From the adaptive triggers mimicking the feel of firearms, the haptic feedback rumbling with the heavy impact of a creature’s footsteps approaching as you hide, we’re layering in features that feel intuitive, helpful and keep you focused and locked in on the nightmare unfolding before you. The game will also feature motion-controlled gameplay elements, such as fine tuning the CRTV into weak signals by twisting the device for a better signal reception, giving a more tactile feel to items in hand. We can’t wait to share more of the game on the road to launch in September! Until next time, I’ll pass back to Okamoto-san to share information on the game’s launch editions announced today.

Silent Hill: Townfall launches in 2026 for PS5, PC; reveal trailer - Gematsu

Silent Hill: Townfall will launch in 2026 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, publishers Konami and Annapurna Interactive, and developer Screen Burn Interactive announced.

Here are the latest details:

The new footage offers fans their first detailed look at this year’s entry in the iconic psychological-horror series. Developed by Screen Burn and co-published by Annapurna Interactive and Konami, Silent Hill: Townfall is a full-length, self-contained psychological horror set against the cold, isolated backdrop of Scotland. With the trailer’s debut, fans can now also wishlist Silent Hill: Townfall.

After its mysterious debut and teaser back in 2022, Silent Hill: Townfall storms back into the spotlight with chilling new revelations. The next chapter in the Silent Hill series aims to evolve the psychological horror from previous entries whilst also keeping themes synonymous with the franchise such as mystery, tragedy and loss.

Players take on the role of Simon Ordell who is called back to the island of St. Amelia to ‘put things right’, encountering 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.

Experienced entirely in first person, Simon must explore, evade, and 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.
