Players Will Have Multiple Endings in ‘Silent Hill: Townfall’
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.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
