Silent Hill: Townfall is a full-length, standalone psychological-horror spin-off entry developed by Glasgow-based Screen Burn (formerly known as No Code) and co-published by KONAMI and Annapurna Interactive. Townfall introduces several major shifts to Silent Hill, starting with a first-person perspective and the Scottish setting of St. Amelia, an isolated island town shrouded in fog, trauma, and a troubling past. The project was first unveiled during KONAMI's October 2022 Silent Hill Transmission (which also announced the Silent Hill 2 remake). Back then, the studio was still known as No Code, but it later renamed itself Screen Burn. The team has a […]

Making the announcement via a press release, Konami confirmed their presence at next month’s Gamescom (kicking off on the 26th of August), writing: “Konami […] announces its return to gamescom 2026 and brings its legendary titles to the world’s largest and leading event for the video games industry.”

As mentioned, Konami is keeping things relatively light this year, with the biggest announcement set to be the brand new trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall – planned to be shown off during Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live presentation.

In terms of games, the only other title being showcased is Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, with attendees being given https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/topics/19215/the chance to have hands-on with the first new entry in this series in over a decade.

Developer Screen Burn, alongside Annapurna Interactive and Konami have once again showcased Silent Hill: Townfall during today's State of Play and finally revealed a release date for the upcoming horror game following its first gameplay reveal earlier this year during Konami's Silent Hill Transmission event. Making it just a couple of months ahead of GTA 6, Silent Hill: Townfall will arrive on September 24, 2026. Its inclusion in today's event would've been more of a surprise if not for the fact that an ESRB rating for the game appeared earlier this morning, hours before the showcase would kick off. That […]

After laying dormant for a decade, the Silent Hill franchise is officially back and bigger than ever. With the most recent release ‘Silent Hill f’ continuing to find new audiences, Bloober Team’s excellent Silent Hill 2 Remake has reached a massive milestone – officially surpassing 5 million total players.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the official Silent Hill page revealed that over 5 million people have played the latest remake from Bloober Team, writing: “The fog's reach grows ever greater, and a timeless story continues to find new minds to echo through. SILENT HILL 2 celebrates 5 million units worldwide!”

As always, 5 million players does not equate to 5 million copies sold, with Konami stating that this latest figure includes “units shipped, store downloads and subscription services.”

This is worthy of note as Silent Hill 2 Remake was added to PlayStation Plus Extra back in October of last year (on the 21st to be specific) just days after confirming that the title had SOLD 2.5 million copies.

Regardless of whether it was through direct purchases or PlayStation Plus however, Silent Hill is in a strong place right now. It will be interesting to see whether the remake eventually outsells the entire rest of the franchise’s previous output.

Bloober Team has been busy in recent years, with the horror-focused studio having released a remake of the iconic Silent Hill 2 alongside new IP Cronos: The New Dawn within the past year and a bit. With the team having already confirmed that multiple new projects are in the works, Bloober have now offered updates on the likes of Silent Hill 1 Remake, Layers of Fear 3 and more.

In an interview conducted by the polish publication ‘inwestycje’, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno offered a number of updates on the studio’s current ongoing projects. Currently, we know of 3 different titles which the team are working on: the aforementioned Silent Hill 1 Remake and Layers of Fear 3, alongside a more mysterious Project M set to be a Switch exclusive.

According to Babieno however, there are actually 4 different titles currently being worked on to different degrees, stating: “The creative part of the team is currently conducting pre-production work on a new original project. At the same time, most of the production team [‘Cronos'] is currently supporting the polishing process of selected projects carried out as part of our second party segment.”

Offering a slight update on Project M, the CEO claimed that “some organizational changes” have occurred, and so it appears as though we might have to wait a while to learn more from it.

Curiously, their recently-announced Layers of Fear 3 is not being developed internally, with the project said to be “implemented in a co-development model with a significant influence of the original creators of the brand from Bloober Team” (as translated).

Babieno did not disclose which studio is working on the project, but based on the 2023 release of the Layers of Fear remake/reimagining, it is likely to be Anshar Studios.

Bloober Team have been going from strength-to-strength, with the horror-focused studio’s output improving with each successive release. As such, it will be interesting to see how each of these 4 projects wind up being received upon their eventual arrivals. Here's hoping that Bloober aren’t stretching themselves out too thin.
