Silent Hill: Townfall Launches on PS5 and PC

Its CRTV pocket-television gameplay steers the series back to slow, stealth-forward psychological horror, prompting mostly positive early reviews.

Overview

  • The game, which launched on Sept. 24, 2026, is available on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store and shipped with a new launch trailer.
  • Scottish developer Screen Burn Interactive created Townfall and the title is co-published by Konami and Annapurna Interactive.
  • Gameplay is first-person and centers on a handheld CRTV device used to tune unstable signals while players rely on stealth, scarce ammo, degradable melee and puzzles rather than frequent combat.
  • Early reviews have been generally favorable with aggregate scores in the high 70s to low 80s, praising atmosphere and the CRTV mechanic while calling out slow pacing, some repetitive sections, and occasionally punishing encounters.
  • The release positions Silent Hill as a tonal return to slower, psychological scares after a more action-oriented entry, and the game includes multiple endings to encourage replayability.
