Silent Hill: Townfall — Release Date, Cast and Everything Explained
Silent Hill: Townfall launches September 24, 2026 on PS5 and PC, and Konami just kicked off a real "call me" phone number campaign ahead of release. Here's the release date, price, story, cast and gameplay details confirmed so far.
Konami's next entry in the revived Silent Hill series, Silent Hill: Townfall, launches on September 24, 2026 for PS5 and PC — and in the final week before release, the official Silent Hill account kicked off a genuinely unsettling piece of marketing: a real phone number fans can call. Here's everything confirmed about the game so far, from release date and price to story, cast, gameplay, and that "call me" campaign.
1. What Is Silent Hill: Townfall?
Silent Hill: Townfall is a standalone, full-length psychological horror game developed by Screen Burn Interactive (the Scottish studio formerly known as No Code, which rebranded in July 2025) and published by Konami Digital Entertainment alongside Annapurna Interactive. It is not a remake or a numbered sequel — it's an original story set in its own Scottish coastal town, built in Unreal Engine 5, that slots alongside the recent Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill f as part of Konami's push to release a new Silent Hill entry roughly every year.
2. Release Date, Platforms and Price
Silent Hill: Townfall releases September 24, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). Anyone who pre-orders the Deluxe Edition gets a 48-hour early access window starting September 22. On Steam, the Standard Edition is priced at $49.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $59.99. On PS5, the game is also confirmed to support PS5 Pro enhancements with PSSR upscaling, offering both a 30fps Quality mode and a 60fps Performance mode, presented in a cinematic 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
3. Meet Simon Ordell and the Town of St. Amelia
The story follows Simon Ordell, a man who arrives on the island town of St. Amelia — a fictional, isolated Scottish coastal settlement (visually inspired by the real village of St Monans in Fife) — after receiving a mysterious letter. The game is set in 1996. Simon has no memory of the town or its people, which becomes disorienting fast: according to Konami's own preview material, reality itself seems to blur early on, with one moment showing Simon drifting toward the dock aboard a boat and the next showing him bursting out of the water, with no clear line between what's real and what isn't.
Konami and Screen Burn have described Townfall's structure as "wide linear" rather than a game full of dramatic branching paths — subtle choices throughout shape which of five different endings players reach, with two of those five only unlockable through a New Game Plus run.
4. The Cast Bringing Townfall to Life
Simon Ordell is voiced by Jovan Adepo. He's joined by Kezia Burrows as Zoe, a nurse at St. Amelia's local family clinic who reaches out to Simon despite his having no memory of ever meeting her, and Terry O'Quinn as Richard. Konami revealed the full voice cast on August 25, 2026, ahead of the September launch window.
5. Gameplay: The CRTV, Stealth and Combat
Townfall is played entirely from a first-person perspective. Its signature tool is the CRTV, a handheld analog device that Simon uses to tune into faint signals — both to solve narrative-driven puzzles and to get a read on his surroundings, including nearby threats. Konami has said every puzzle in the game was designed alongside the story itself, rather than being bolted on as a separate layer, so solutions are meant to stay grounded in the world Simon is exploring rather than feeling like abstract logic tests.
Combat and stealth both play a role. Simon can arm himself with improvised melee weapons like planks and pipes, block incoming attacks, and strike back, but hands-on previews from Konami's own PlayStation.Blog describe the fights as fast and demanding — enemies don't go down easily, which pushes players toward evasion and hiding over standing and fighting. On PS5, the CRTV also ties into DualSense features, including adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and motion controls for physically tuning its signal.
6. The Mysterious "Call Me" Phone Number
On September 18, 2026 — six days before launch — the official Silent Hill account posted an in-character marketing beat: a real, working phone number, captioned simply "call me," alongside the standard disclosure that it's for U.S. residents aged 18 and up and that normal carrier charges may apply. It's a small but pointed piece of marketing, since phones and analog broadcast tech (like the CRTV itself) are central to how Simon investigates St. Amelia throughout the game.

Konami hasn't detailed publicly what happens when fans dial in, beyond confirming the line is live and tied to the game's release. It follows a string of promotional beats through 2026, including a full gameplay trailer showing roughly 18 minutes of footage from two different sections of the game, and an extended gameplay showcase at Tokyo Game Show 2026.

7. Standard vs. Deluxe: Which Edition to Buy
Both editions include the full game. The Standard Edition pre-purchase adds two cosmetic CRTV skins — "Rusted" and a PS5-exclusive "Beach Edition" style. The Deluxe Edition goes further, adding an alternate outfit for Simon, a digital interactive artbook, a digital soundtrack featuring highlights from the score, and — critically — that 48-hour early access window starting September 22. The Deluxe Edition is digital-only; the Standard Edition is available both physically and digitally.
- Standard Edition — $49.99, full game, pre-purchase cosmetic CRTV skins
- Deluxe Edition — $59.99, digital only, adds outfit, artbook, soundtrack and 48-hour early access
8. Where Townfall Fits in September's Packed Release Calendar
Townfall is landing in one of the busiest release windows of the year, as publishers race to get major games out before GTA 6 arrives in November. It joins Remedy's own September horror-adjacent release in our breakdown of Control Resonant's launch trailer and release date, and arrives roughly a week after Insomniac's own PS5 exclusive, covered in our complete guide to Marvel's Wolverine's combat and skills. If puzzle-driven co-op is more your speed than psychological horror, our Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School explainer covers another release landing in the same stretch of the calendar. For the full spread of what we've covered, browse our game walkthroughs archive.
Konami producer Motoi Okamoto has publicly said he has "confidence that Townfall will achieve similarly high acclaim" to the Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill f — going as far as to say it might end up being the standout of Konami's current run of Silent Hill revival titles. That's a developer's own framing rather than a review score, since Townfall hasn't released yet, but it signals how much weight Konami is putting behind this one.
