Silent Hill: Townfall Preview – Turning the Dial

Silent Hill Townfall Preview

Silent Hill has absolutely seen a modern resurgence over the last few years. We got Bloober’s remake of Silent Hill 2 in 2024, Silent Hill f in 2025, and now, for the third year in a row, a new Silent Hill game will release in 2026. This time, Screen Burn and Annapurna Interactive have partnered with Konami in Silent Hill: Townfall. 

Screen Burn is best known for Observation and Stories Untold, and the team was founded by former Alien: Isolation developers. Tackling the next Silent Hill entry is no small feat, but Screen Burn seems well-equipped to deliver a unique experience unlike anything we’ve seen before in the franchise. Townfall is unique as it is the first full-length game in the series to be in a first-person perspective, which completely shakes up what many longtime fans have come to expect.

At Summer Game Fest: Play Days 2026, I had the chance to experience a 30-minute hands-off preview of Silent Hill: Townfall ahead of its launch this September. I have quite a few questions that still haven’t been answered, though I guess that’s probably a good thing for a new Silent Hill entry. 

Atmosphere is everything in Silent Hill, and Screen Burn has chosen to embrace that with a fresh location for the series. Townfall takes place in the fictional St. Amelia, Scotland, and there’s been incredible attention to detail here. Everything in this town has been created with authenticity at the top of mind, as that was priority one for the team. Every building you’ll find has been crafted in a way to align with Scotland and also the year 1996. This ideology even extends to puzzles. During the live preview, Simon found an old energy panel in the house that he needed to turn on. To get it working, you needed to find an electricity card and plug it in, which is apparently an actual thing in Scotland.

Another distinct feature in Townfall is the CRTV, which is Screen Burn’s new and original take on the radio. You can tune into a signal using the CRTV at any time, and this is used to deliver narrative elements, clues to puzzles, locations you need to go to, and much more. The team actually recorded the footage in-game, brought it outside, passed it through analog, and put it back in for an authentic effect as you scroll that really helps sell it. We saw the CRTV being used to scrub and find footage of a strange apartment, which was actually where Simon needed to go next. Additionally, it can locate and track enemies through buildings and walls, which is critical for survival.

Beyond the CRTV and the obvious cutscenes, another way Silent Hill: Townfall aims to help deliver its narrative is through Simon’s inner monologue, which is unspoken and written on the screen with his handwriting. The Screen Burn team described this as a method to deliver objective comments and in a narrative-centric way, as we normally wouldn’t get to know what the protagonist is thinking in a specific situation. It really helps bring you into the atmosphere and into Simon’s shoes as he navigates this weird town.

Many mechanics have been built around perspective. Since the game is in first person, Townfall can let the protagonist, Simon, peek around corners and cover in ways not possible with a third-person perspective or camera. I also found it interesting hearing the team explain how rooms in homes are actually built at a 1:1 scale because of there not being a third-person camera.

Combat wasn’t a focus of our preview, but we did see Simon acquire a weapon.  I am interested to see if combat does end up being as much of a focus as in previous games, as right now it feels like there is an emphasis on sneaking around instead of bashing through enemies. Interestingly, you walk around with an IV inserted into your left arm the entire time, and it was revealed that you can be revived after death once without losing your life.

As it stands now, I definitely want to see more of Silent Hill: Townfall. I’m a huge fan of the atmosphere I’ve seen so far, as well as the setting, but I do want to see more combat and how that fits into things. Townfall takes a lot of big swings, so we’ll have to see if all those land when the game launches in September.

Silent Hill: Townfall is set to release on September 24 across PlayStation 5 and PC.

HIDIVE will be streaming the Kirio Fan Club anime in various regions outside Japan, including the U.S. In Japan, the anime will air during the Super Animeism TURBO programming block on MBS, TBS, and 26 affiliate channels. 

What is Kirio Fan Club About?

Chikyu no Sakana Ponchan launched the manga on Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha’s Comic Ruelle service in 2022, and the manga ran until August 2024. Kodansha USA Publishing will begin to release the manga in English starting in spring 2026.

Lastly, here’s a synopsis of the story, via Kodansha:

What would you do if your crush had ear-splitting farts? For Aimi and Nami, the answer is to cry tears of joy for being able to pinpoint at a distance the object of their affections, Kirio, from a single toot. These are the kinds of deep, philosophical questions the two friends/rivals in romance pose to each other to prove their love for this boy who hardly seems to know they exist. That won’t stop them from conducting nightly rituals to entice him into their dreams, though, or listing out what exactly they like about him, down to the very last organ. But when push comes to shove, will they choose their hilarious friendship over a shot at love?

Genshin Impact Version Luna VIII 'Sunny Summer Fontinalia' Launches on July 1

HoYoverse has announced that Genshin Impact Version Luna VIII “Sunny Summer Fontinalia” will launch on July 1. The new version features the return of Sandrone and the Frost Moon as a new permanent area. 

Sandrone, the Seventh of the Fatui Harbingers, returns as a 5-star Cryo Claymore wielder. After a tense first encounter, players witnessed her selfless sacrifice in the fierce battle against The Doctor, helping Columbina and the Traveler secure victory. Now that she has come back, the truth of resurrection will finally be revealed. Stellar-Conduct, a brand-new Cryo-Electro reaction, will also be available. When triggered by certain Cryo and Electro characters, the surrounding area will briefly transform into a Polestar Field. The field can store excess Cryo and Electro energy and convert it into buffs. It can also increase the Stellar-Conduct DMG, as well as Cryo DMG and Electro DMG dealt by all characters within its range, while also reducing opponents’ Physical RES. Certain existing Cryo and Electro characters can also receive unique enhancements while within the field.

Players will also board a spacecraft and set foot on the moon, where a vast new region awaits exploration. The moon is home to many breathtaking sights unlike anything seen in Teyvat. This includes a luminous yet treacherous lunar sea and a space station suspended in outer space. In addition, majestic ancient ruins await exploration, revealing more hidden stories tied to the ancient dragon race. Players can also traverse various types of terrain and manipulate the local gravity. Alongside the several other additions of Version Luna VIII, a new summer-themed lobby and outfits will be available.

Lastly, Genshin Impact is available now for Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Windows and Epic Games Store.
