Get hype for some brand newSilent Hillcontent
It’s been ten years sinceSilentHillfans have gotten any new content, but thanks toKonami’s streamtoday that’s focused on showcasing the future of the series, wehave a ton to look forward tonow. One of the exciting upcoming titles previewed during the stream is a new spin-off title made by Annapurna and award-winning studio No Code calledSilent Hill: Townfall.
The teaser trailer opens with a mysterious voice on some kind of tape recorder that also features a screen showing some creepy images, as is the way of horror games. Unfortunately the trailer doesn’t give us much info as to what the gameplay or story might look like, but tonally, it seems like it’ll fit right in with the rest of theSilent Hillseries.
No Code creative director Jon McKellan then appeared to give fans a little more insight into what to expect from the game. He describes how playing the originalSilent Hillgame in 1999 made him a lifelong fan, and how that title has influenced the types of games his studio has created in their previous releases,ObservationandStories Untold.
“It’s a real honor for us to bring a new title to this series that both respects the source material, but also does something a little different with it,” McKellan said. “At No Code, we’re all about weaving that [psychological horror] narrative and that experience into every aspect of our game design, our audio, our visuals, even our UI.”
The studio doesn’t have any more to share as of now, but it’s exciting to just know that this game is happening at all. Given No Code’s track record, especially with them working with Annapurna, I have some pretty high hopes thatSilent Hill: Townfallwill deliver both a terrifying and narratively fulfilling entry in the series.
