Silent Hill: Townfall, the latest entry in Konami's iconic survival horror gaming series, is officially hitting platforms next month, with a new trailer and cast reveal debuting at Gamescom earlier today. Check it out below:
Developed by Observation‘s Screen Burn, formerly known as No Code, and published by Konami Digital Entertainment and Annapurna Interactive (Stray), Silent Hill: Townfall is set to release on September 24. Described as a “unique take” on the DNA of the iconic survival horror series, Silent Hill: Townfall follows Simon Ordell, a troubled man called back to the Scottish island of St. Amelia to ‘put things right':
He encounters a town lying quiet beneath a heavy fog, seemingly abandoned but not at rest. 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.
Starring as Simon is Jovan Adepo (3 Body Problem, IT: Welcome to Derry, The Odyssey), with Kezia Burrows (Observation) providing the voice of Zoe and Terry O'Quinn (Lost, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live) as Richard, both of whom we get a new look at in today's new trailer.
In an unusual change for the series, Townfall puts players in a first-person perspective, with new ‘peeking' mechanic and a CRTV take on the classic radio that Simon can use to avoid enemies, some of whom are giving Hellraiser and The Mist vibes.
Following the success of Bloober's Silent Hill 2 Remake, the newest original mainline series entry Silent Hill f , and hype for Bloober Team's upcoming Silent Hill 1 remake (although the less said about Christophe Gans' Return to Silent Hill, the better), hype and hope is high for a Silent Hill renaissance, and after getting our hands on a special preview of Townfall earlier this year, we're more convinced than ever.
Silent Hill: Townfall is now available to wishlist for PlayStation 5, Steam and Epic Games Store, and hits consoles on September 24.
