Konami today announced the development of Silent Hill Townfall, a new project in the cult horror series being developed by Scottish studio NoCode, Stories Untold and Observation, in partnership with Annapurna Interactive.
The video does not provide gameplay details, platforms for which it will be available or even a release forecast. It is possible to observe a kind of battery-powered radio in the middle of an office, with some frightening images flashing on your screen.
“I think we’ve done something so horrible that we’re stuck here being judged by these… People. But for you? I think it’s more than that. I think you’re here for some other reason. And I don’t even want to be. near you… When you find out”, says a mysterious voice.
To comment further on the project, creative director Jon McKellan appeared on the stream to share a little behind the scenes. “I remember playing the first Silent Hill on PSOne in 1999, and I became a fan from that moment on. for us, it is a real honor for us to bring a new [de Silent Hill] that respects the source material, but also does something a little different,” says Jon.
Still according to the creative director, this is all the studio can show at the moment, indicating that fans will have to wait until 2023 to learn more about this new project. “Until then, it might be worth watching the trailer again and seeing something you might have missed,” he concludes.
