Silent Hill Townfall launches in 2026, trailer reveals first-person horror and monsters

Annapurna Interactive’s Silent Hill game is coming out in 2026.

Silent Hill: Townfall, a first-person horror game that acts as a brand-new original entry in the franchise, is officially launching in 2026. The game is being published by Annapurna Interactive and developed by Screen Burn, and will see players explore St. Amelia, a slightly different take on the traditional Silent Hill town.

Silent Hill Townfall launches in 2026, brings first-person horror to the franchise

Game developer Screen Burn has finally shown off gameplay for Silent Hill Townfall, which takes the franchise to a seaside town filled with horrors, named St. Amelia. The game is also played from a first-person perspective, as opposed to the series’ traditional third-person perspective. 

Granted, recent spin-offs like Silent Hill: The Short Message and the ill-fated PT demo have gone down the same route, but this will be the franchise’s first full-fledged first-person horror game. The game will also feature a new protagonist, and seemingly has no connections to previous entries in the franchise. 

Konami also hosted a Silent Hill Transmission stream today, showing off more gameplay and development details for Silent Hill Townfall:

Despite these changes, however, it’s clear that this is a Silent Hill game through and through. Players will still explore a foggy town filled with monstrous creatures, while Townfall’s protagonist Simon confronts his past and solves puzzles to stay alive. 

The game also features a distinct take on the iconic Silent Hill radio, which typically informs players of an enemy’s whereabouts. In Townfall, players will use a retro-style device called the CRTV, which allows Simon to see through walls, locate nearby threats, solve puzzles, and better navigate the enigmatic town.

Silent Hill Townfall also has stealth elements, using a peek system to allow Simon to better locate threats and stay hidden in order to survive. Enemies will hunt down the player throughout the game, though Simon has weapons to beat them back if he is found. 

Silent Hill Townfall is now available for wishlists on the PlayStation Store. The game will launch sometime in 2026.
