Upcoming Silent Hill Project Receives Promising Update After Developer Rebrand

by

The enigmatic project titled “Silent Hill: Townfall,” previously handled by No Code, has received an unexpected update from its newly rebranded developer. Originally based in Scotland, the team confirmed their new identity as Screen Burn. Previously, No Code represented the team’s mission to create games without a coder, but they have since hired several coders who are now integral parts of the team. The rebranded team is still diligently working on “Townfall,” much to the delight of fans.

Fans of gaming and horror genres will undoubtedly recognize the renowned survival series, Silent Hill, developed under Konami. This game franchise, which has received countless praises, boasts a dedicated fanbase, multiple spin-offs, and live-action film adaptations based on its first four main installments. Notably, a recent update revealed that the creator of Silent Hill, Keiichiro Toyama, is working on a new game. His upcoming project aims to expand the capabilities of Bokeh Game Studios following this year’s Slitterhead, which underperformed financially despite achieving cult status.

In a recent blog post, Screen Burn announced updates regarding their rebranding efforts and used the phrase “End of Act 1, Beginning of Act 2.” The team has been diligently working on the game Townfall since the lockdown period began, and they continue to do so today. They described the development process as a gradual, intricate construction of a haunting experience. Although progress might seem slow for both the team and fans, Screen Burn expressed their eagerness to reveal more details soon. They acknowledged the anticipation from fans of the Silent Hill IP and asked for patience as they are a small team creating a substantial game. The last update for Townfall was released in October 2024, which caused some concern among the fanbase about the development’s progress.

Silent Hill: Townfall Gets an Encouraging Update After Studio Rebrand

As per information on its Wiki, the game titled “Townfall” is set to be published by both Konami and Annapurna Interactive, aiming for a launch on PlayStation 5. This upcoming title is designed as a spin-off anthology series, with minimal plot details available at present. However, given that the creators of “Stories Untold” and “Outer Wilds” are involved in the project, players are optimistic about an unconventional gaming experience. The most substantial glimpse fans have had of this game-in-progress was in 2022, when a trailer for “Silent Hill: Townfall” was released, filled with clues for enthusiasts to analyze. Among these hints were the significance of the portable CRT receiver and the reappearance of certain creatures from earlier versions.

In the upcoming years, there’s an abundance of exciting Silent Hill projects on the horizon, with one insider even hinting at a detailed plan for the Silent Hill franchise lasting until 2028. After the successful reboot of Silent Hill 2 in 2024, gamers can anticipate the chilling new installment of the Silent Hill series this year, set to launch on September 25. Moreover, whispers from The Short Message developer’s remarks hint at a possibility that the first three Silent Hill games may be updated for current-generation consoles, allowing modern players to immerse themselves in the horror without having to navigate through outdated visuals.
