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.
Though there’s still no specific release date yet, Saber Interactive has given Turok fans an update of sorts on the development of Turok: Origins with a new short-but-sweet gameplay trailer.
In Turok: Origins, players will take on the mantle of the ancient Order of the Turok, heroic guardians of unimaginable power locked in a battle for survival against ferocious creatures and a terrifying alien threat that seeks to destroy all human life in the galaxy. Battle in both first-person and third-person action, harnessing fallen foes’ DNA to upgrade your arsenal.
Fight as a team in co-op or solo against a variety of creatures, dinosaurs, and bosses that take to the ground, sky, swamps, and caves to push your skills to the limit. You’ll be able to unlock and upgrade advanced weaponry to even the odds against your enemies in battle. Wield an arsenal of plasma rifles, ray guns, snipers, bows, shotguns, and more.
As mentioned, you can extract DNA from fallen foes and the environment to upgrade your arsenal, evolve your mantle, and unlock even more abilities called EchoSyncs to gain a greater edge in combat.
Turok: Origins is slated to release this fall on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2.
