When giving his 2024 retrospective and 2025 resolution to 4Gamer, Motoi Okamoto promised some news on Silent Hill F and Silent Hill Townfall next year. Though this has nothing to do with the Silent Hill franchise, Okamoto also mentioned that No Case Should Remain Unsolved from Somi was the game that impressed him the most this year. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

News for Silent Hill appeared at the end of Okamoto’s message to readers. He first commented on how Konami successfully released Silent Hill 2 Remake, and that it was well-received from fans and critics alike. Of the remaining announced titles from the Silent Hill franchise, there’s only F and Townfall left. He hopes that he can give everyone more news on those games, and that everyone’s working hard to make sure they can meet fan expectations.

Okamoto also comments that Silent Hill is a series with a lot of history, and it’s also one that’s gone through a lot of challenges over the years. It’s important that fans can enjoy a remake that the developers put a lot of work into making, with a high-quality story they know they can enjoy. He also wants to come up with innovative ideas that present a new way to enjoy horror. Silent Hill: Ascension, Silent Hill: The Short Message, and Red Reaper: The Dead’s Statement of Guilt are all examples of these new concepts.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is on the PS5 and Windows PC. Meanwhile, Silent Hill Townfall and F are still in development.

Back in 2022, Annapurna, Konami, and No Code announced the three were working on a new Silent Hill: Townfall game was in development. However, we haven’t heard much about the project since then. Now, following the Annapurna resignations, the official social media confirmed the game is still in development.

There is no update on the progress of the game. We don’t know how it looks or when it will be expected to appear. However, it is still in the works. It is going to be a spin-off, rather than a mainline entry. There are no gameplay trailers or details about any potential stories. Only a logo and teaser appeared since the 2022 announcement.

Here’s the official announcement confirming that Silent Hill: Townfall will be made despite the resignations at Annapurna.

In case you need a reminder of what to expect from the series, here is the teaser video from 2022. It featured a person discussing things that had been done, while an electronic device in the background starts going haywire. As a reminder, in the Silent Hill series different types of technology will malfunction and behave that way when the monsters are lurking about.

This is one of multiple Silent Hill games on the way. We’ll see the Bloober Team remake of Silent Hill 2 at the beginning of October 2024. Silent Hill f is also in development, and Ryukishi07 is working on the script for it. We also saw the spin-off Silent Hill: The Short Message appear on the PS5 earlier in 2024.

Silent Hill: Townfall is in development, though there is no release window for the spin-off game in the series still.

In Famitsu's New Year Greetings column for 2024, Silent Hill series Lead Producer Motoi Okamoto offered an update on the series. Okamoto’s keyword for 2024 is “delivery,” and the producer confirmed that 2024 will mark the beginning of new Silent Hill game releases. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

The producer’s aspirations for 2024 consist of continuing to build up the Silent Hill series with both games and other types of media. Motoi Okamoto mentioned the release of the interactive streaming Silent Hill Ascension in November 2023 as one of such types of non-game media for the franchise.

Konami originally announced 3 Silent Hill games and 2 non-game titles in production on October 2022. Silent Hill F is a new mainline installment in the franchise developed by Neobards Entertainment and written by When They Cry sound novel series author Ryukishi07. Bloober Team is developing the Silent Hill 2 remake for the PS5 and PC, in collaboration with artist Masahiro Ito and composer Akira Yamaoka.

Konami is also collaborating with publisher Annapurna Interactive and Observation developer No Code in the Silent Hill: Townfall. At the time of writing this story none of the aforementioned Silent Hill video game titles have a release date or window, but people can expect some of these to appear in 2024.

The Return to Silent Hill live-action movie is the other non-game title for the current Silent Hill multimedia project, and director Christophe Gans is in charge of it. Gans previously directed the first Silent Hill live-action project.

More than just the Silent Hill 2 remake was on display at Konami's Silent Hill transmission livestream. Three entirely new Silent Hill-related games are also in development. One of them is Silent Hill: Townfall. It's being developed by No Code, which created Stories Untold and Observation, alongside Annapurna Interactive, which published games like Outer Wilds and Sayonara Wild Hearts. Konami aired a teaser for the new title during the stream.

The Silent Hill: Townfall teaser doesn't show off gameplay footage, but does establish a mood. It begins with a monologue by a man talking to someone, saying the person he's talking to is "here to be punished". A shot of a portable television shows off various disturbing images and brief glimpses of some kind of monster, before resolving onto a blood-red wave crashing onto a beach.

A video message from No Code Creative Director John McKellan recounted memories of playing the original Silent Hill, and noted how much of an influence the series has been on the developers at No Code and Annapurna. He mentioned the focus of their own titles, Stories Untold and Observation, on "deep psychological horror," traits they want to use in weaving the narrative of Silent Hill: Townfall.

McKellan said that though the game is still early in development, they planned to share more info sometime in 2023.

Silent Hill: Townfall is in development. It does not have an announced release date or platform at this time.
