Silent Hill: Townfall gets a release date and new trailer at PlayStation State of Play

Sony's PlayStation State of Play brought a new trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall alongside a confirmed release date — the game launches September 24 on PS5 and PC.

Unlike most entries in the series, Townfall is first-person and doesn't take place in Silent Hill itself. Instead, players explore a foggy, unsettling town in Scotland, sneaking past monsters and using environmental objects like bottles as distractions to avoid direct combat. The main character has a mysterious connection to the town, keeping the franchise's signature theme of protagonists inexplicably drawn to a haunted place intact despite the change of setting.

Townfall was first announced back in 2022 alongside a wave of other Silent Hill projects, but concrete details had been scarce since then. Developer No Code — the studio behind Stories Untold and Observation — is building this one for Konami, and the first-person stealth-focused approach fits No Code's history of atmospheric, tension-driven horror over action.
