Silent Hill: Townfall is Screen Burn Interactive’s first-person entry that reimagines the series with a foggy Scottish island setting and a new narrative focused on atmosphere and psychological horror.

The story centers on Simon Ordell, the series’ first Black protagonist, who finds himself on the island driven by guilt and a need to set things right, with his journey intertwined with iconic Silent Hill motifs.

The game was showcased in a Sony State of Play trailer and a Silent Hill Transmission, revealing St. Amelia as the town and Simon Ordell as the lead in a 1996-era, fog-drenched environment.

Gameplay emphasizes selective combat, with options to run, distract, hide, or engage using a mix of stealth and CRTV signals as enemies actively hunt the player.

Coverage will continue as new announcements arrive, keeping fans updated on Townfall’s development.

Development began in 2022, with a targeted 2026 launch that could place Townfall alongside other major releases this year.

Coverage and tone highlight the CRTV mechanic and a shift toward psychological horror within a fog-bound, atmospheric island setting.

Story and mood are driven by sparse resources and fog-blanketed environments, starting with only an emergency bracelet, an IV bag, and the CRTV device.

A defining gameplay innovation is the CRTV device, used to reveal enemies, secrets, and the town’s dark history in a fog-filled Scottish setting with retro tech.

Townfall blends survival horror, environmental puzzles, and occasional combat, featuring improvised weapons and grotesque foes.

Wishlist availability opened on PlayStation Store, with ongoing updates ahead of the release.

The broader context notes Scotland’s push to grow its game sector and the enduring development of major franchises like Grand Theft Auto within Scottish studios.
