Action RPG ‘Dark Devotion’ Arrives on PS4, Switch on October 24
In a “seems as good of a time as any” moment, developer Hibernian Workshop’s side-scrolling action RPG, Dark Devotion, will launch for PlayStation 4 and Switch on October 24. The game is currently out on Steam.
Dark Devotion features a richly detailed, immersive narrative that unfolds a sombre tale of your Templar religion’s irresistible calling. Every encounter challenges your fortitude, piety, and conviction as you move deeper into your cursed pilgrimage.
Spanning four unique worlds, each with their own incredibly detailed environments, you’ll wield dozens of weapons in your quest to discover the Temple’s secret: all the while assailed by dark enemies and devious bosses whose core mission is to destroy your soul and damn you forever.
Other than the September 24 release date, we still haven’t gotten details just yet on Silent Hill: Townfall. However, Konami has at least confirmed one welcome series feature for the upcoming Screen Burn-developed title, with the game having multiple endings for players to discover.
Just in case you missed it, Konami took to X to make it official, with each ending being shaped by player’s choices, with each ending “leaving a lasting emotional impact”. Of course, it’s ridiculous to reveal just how players will arrive at one of the endings, since that’s obviously part of the fun. There’s also no word on how many endings players will have to discover.
For context, last year’s Silent Hill f features five endings, including one involving the series’ long-running “UFO Ending” joke. One would hope that this trope continues with Townfall.
Silent Hill: Townfall centers around Simon Ordell, who is called back to the island of St. Amelia in Scotland to ‘put things right’. What he encounters is a town lying quiet beneath a heavy fog, seemingly abandoned but not at rest. All he has on him besides his clothes are an IV bag and a medical wristband with his name on it. He heads to the town with no leads but the voices from the CRTV he picked up along the way. Venturing deeper and driven to understand his connection to the place and its inhabitants, Simon begins to discover fragments of a past rising to the surface.
Played entirely in first person, Townfall has players exploring, evading, and ultimately trying to survive using a limited set of weapons and tools, including the CRTV, a pocket television used to tune into unstable signals. Evasion is tense; combat is frenetic, while narrative driven puzzles reveal a truth that refuses to stay submerged.
Developed by Screen Burn and co-published by Annapurna Interactive and Konami, Silent Hill: Townfall will release for PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
