Silent Hill: Townfall launch details and setting

Overview

Konami has announced that the next main-line Silent Hill title, Townfall, will be released worldwide on 24 September 2026 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Developed by the Glasgow-based studio Screen Burn Interactive in partnership with Annapurna Interactive, the game marks a significant shift for the franchise as its first full-length first-person experience. The game is set in the 1990s on the fictional, fog-shrouded island of St. Amelia in Scotland. Director and writer Jon McKellan stated that the Scottish setting was chosen to utilize the region's authentic landscapes, architecture, and climate to maintain the series' atmospheric identity.

At gamescom 2026, producer Motoi Okamoto and creative director Jon McKellan provided further details, emphasizing a focus on ‘analog horror.’ A central mechanic is the handheld ‘CRTV’ radio device—a portable analog television used to tune into frequencies to find clues and detect monsters through static and distorted signals. The narrative is designed to intersect micro-level fears, such as personal guilt and trauma, with macro-level social horrors.

While the game launches on PC and PS5, official details confirm a console exclusivity window. The title will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive for at least six months, meaning it will not be available on other consoles until at least March 2027. No official release dates have been announced for Xbox or Nintendo platforms. Technical specifications highlight support for the PS5 Pro, including a 30 fps Quality mode and a 60 fps Performance mode featuring ray-tracing and PSSR upscaling.
