Konami has revealed an extended gameplay trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall, though calling a nearly 19 minute video a gameplay trailer is a bit of a stretch. Still, when we get to soak up more of the creepy atmosphere of the town of St. Amelia, this is very much a treat.
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.
Silent Hill: Townfall will launches September 24 for PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
