Silent Hill: Townfall Gets September 24 Release Date, ESRB Rates It 17+

Konami and Annapurna Interactive announced during the June 2 State of Play broadcast that Silent Hill: Townfall, the latest entry in the psychological horror series, will launch on September 24. The game is set on the fictional Scottish island of St. Amelia and is played from a first-person perspective. Players explore a fog-shrouded, silent town using limited items, weapons, and a pocket TV-shaped device called the CRTV. Developer No Code, based in the UK, is behind the project. The game will be released on PS5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Separately, the ESRB published a Mature 17+ rating for the title, citing frequent bloodshed, jump scares, and combat against mutated creatures with pistols, shotguns, and axes. The rating summary also describes a scene where a man is eaten by a monster. The ESRB listing confirms the Scottish island setting and notes puzzle-solving elements.

No Code, the UK-based studio behind the project, was founded in 2015 and previously developed the narrative puzzle game Observation and the interactive fiction Stories Untold. The CRTV device, described in the ESRB listing as a pocket TV-shaped tool, is the player's primary means of interacting with the environment and solving puzzles. The game's setting on the fictional Scottish island of St. Amelia marks a departure from the series' traditional New England locations.

The ESRB rating summary includes a description of a scene where a man is eaten by a monster, a detail that aligns with the series' history of body horror. The rating also notes the presence of jump scares and frequent bloodshed. Combat involves pistols, shotguns, and axes against mutated creatures. The rating is Mature 17+, matching that of Silent Hill f and the Silent Hill 2 remake.

Game Spark reports that the ESRB listing confirms puzzle-solving elements and the Scottish island setting. The outlet also notes that the game was first announced in 2022 with no major updates until a new trailer in February 2026. The rating publication suggests development is progressing toward the September 24 release date.
