The next chapter of the Silent Hill franchise is almost here.

Silent Hill: Townfall is scheduled to launch on September 24, 2026, bringing a completely new psychological horror story to PlayStation 5 and PC.

Developed by Scottish studio Screen Burn Interactive and co-published by Konami and Annapurna Interactive, the game takes the series to an isolated Scottish island and introduces a first-person perspective for a full-length Silent Hill title.

When Does Silent Hill: Townfall Release?

Silent Hill: Townfall launches on September 24, 2026.

The game will be available on:

• PlayStation 5
• Steam
• Epic Games Store

Konami has also confirmed both Standard and Deluxe Editions.

The Deluxe Edition includes 48-hour early access when pre-ordered, meaning players who choose that edition can begin their journey before the standard launch period.

Where Is Silent Hill: Townfall Set?

Instead of returning to the familiar American setting associated with the franchise, Townfall takes players to St. Amelia, a remote island off the Scottish coast.

The isolated environment plays an important role in the game’s atmosphere.

A quiet town, thick fog and the feeling that something is deeply wrong create the foundation for Simon Ordell’s journey.

Konami describes the game as a self-contained psychological horror experience set against the cold and isolated landscape of Scotland.

Who Is Simon Ordell?

The protagonist of Silent Hill: Townfall is Simon Ordell.

Simon is called back to St. Amelia with the goal of “putting things right,” but the island quickly reveals that its past is far more complicated than he expected.

As he explores the town, Simon begins discovering fragments of memories and events connected to the people who lived there.

The story gradually introduces new characters and mysteries rather than explaining everything immediately.

Townfall Is the First Full-Length First-Person Silent Hill

One of the biggest changes in Townfall is its perspective.

The game is experienced entirely from a first-person viewpoint, allowing players to see St. Amelia and its supernatural horrors directly through Simon’s perspective.

According to the developers, this approach also changes the importance of sound.

With the player’s field of vision limited, distant noises, footsteps and environmental sounds become important parts of the experience. The PS5 version also uses 3D Audio to make nearby sounds feel more immediate.

The CRTV Is One of the Game’s Most Important Tools

Simon carries a strange pocket television known as the CRTV.

The device is more than a simple piece of equipment.

Simon can tune the CRTV to unstable signals, revealing fragments of information and helping him uncover parts of St. Amelia’s history.

The television is also connected to the game’s puzzles and narrative.

According to Konami, players will use the CRTV to discover messages and pieces of a past that Simon can barely remember.

Exploration, Puzzles and Survival

Silent Hill: Townfall combines exploration with environmental puzzles and psychological horror.

Players will need to investigate St. Amelia while paying attention to details in the environment.

The game’s puzzles are connected to its narrative rather than existing simply as separate challenges.

The CRTV is particularly important because it can reveal information that is not immediately visible in the surrounding environment.

The experience also includes tense encounters with supernatural creatures, forcing Simon to decide when to confront a threat and when to avoid it.

The Game Has a Strong Psychological Focus

Like previous entries in the franchise, Townfall uses horror to explore themes beyond monsters and supernatural events.

The story focuses on mystery, tragedy, loss and personal trauma, while the town itself becomes part of the psychological experience.

Konami has emphasized that the game is designed as a new interpretation of Silent Hill rather than a direct continuation of a previous game’s story.

The Cast Includes Jovan Adepo and Terry O’Quinn

Konami has also revealed the English voice cast.

Jovan Adepo plays Simon Ordell, while Terry O’Quinn and Kezia Burrows are also part of the cast.

Burrows voices Zoe, a nurse whose voice reaches Simon through the CRTV.

Zoe becomes connected to the lives of St. Amelia’s residents and the events that shaped the town.

The characters are expected to play an important role in slowly revealing the island’s history.

PS5 Features and DualSense Support

The PlayStation 5 version makes extensive use of the DualSense controller.

Adaptive triggers are used to provide different sensations during gameplay, while haptic feedback can communicate environmental events and encounters.

The controller’s gyroscope is also used with the CRTV.

Players can physically move and twist the controller while tuning the device to search for weak signals.

The game also supports 3D Audio, helping create a stronger sense of space when exploring St. Amelia.

Standard and Deluxe Editions

Players can choose between Standard and Deluxe Editions.

The Standard Edition includes pre-order bonuses such as alternative CRTV appearances.

The Deluxe Edition includes:

• Digital artbook
• Digital soundtrack
• Alternate outfit for Simon
• 48-hour early access when pre-ordered
• Additional pre-order bonuses

The Deluxe Edition is available digitally, while physical pre-orders are available for PS5.

Silent Hill: Townfall Is a Standalone Story

New players do not need to have completed the previous Silent Hill games to understand the basic premise of Townfall.

Konami describes the game as a full-length, self-contained psychological horror experience.

That means St. Amelia, Simon and the events surrounding the island form their own story within the larger Silent Hill universe.

However, longtime fans can still expect familiar themes involving psychological horror, mysterious environments and supernatural manifestations.

A New Silent Hill From a Scottish Studio

Townfall is being developed by Screen Burn Interactive, a Scottish studio previously known as No Code.

The team brings its experience with first-person narrative games to the Silent Hill franchise.

The Scottish setting also gives the game a distinct identity compared with previous entries.

Instead of recreating the traditional American foggy town, the developers are building a horror experience around an isolated coastal community in Scotland.
