Silent Hill: Townfall is confirmed to still be in development at No Code in collaboration with Konami and Annapurna Interactive. This announcement dispels all doubt regarding the current status of the forthcoming Silent Hill game that was first announced in late 2022.
Since being revealed a couple of years ago, fans haven't heard or seen enough of Silent Hill: Townfall. The recent implosion at Annapurna Interactive, one of the game's co-publishers, further cast shadows of doubt on the project and sent some fans into alert mode. With growing speculation around Silent Hill: Townfall's development status, No Code and Annapurna Interactive have now come out to put all concerns to bed effectively.
Some Players Already Have the Silent Hill 2 Remake
Some Silent Hill 2 fans report that their copies of the game have arrived early, giving them an enviable opportunity one week early.
On Twitter, developer No Code and co-publisher Annapurna Interactive announced that they are still working on Silent Hill: Townfall together with IP owner Konami. Echoing a shared sentiment, the two accounts posted the same message, saying they "deeply apologize for any concerns" related to the Silent Hill spin-off and that the game would "continue to be co-developed" by all three parties involved. In the comments, several fans expressed relief at hearing the news. A reply said, "This is super reassuring news, I still eagerly look forward to this title!" Another user shared their excitement, saying, "Do your best! We cannot wait for this new Silent Hill game!"
Silent Hill: Townfall Still in Development
Despite there being little to no sneak peeks into Townfall since its reveal and despite the upheaval taking place at Annapurna Interactive's games division, the Silent Hill spin-off still seems to be on track as planned. Even though the American publisher previously ensured that all ongoing contracts would be honored regardless of the games unit disbanding, the additional confirmation from the two studios removes any possible doubt that may have been bugging fans. Moreover, this kind of clear communication and transparency from developers instills a high level of confidence among fans in the former's ability, which is all positive momentum in the build-up to the game's release.
While Silent Hill: Townfall may still be a ways away, fans of the survival horror franchise can check out the Silent Hill 2 remake once it launches on October 8. Developer Bloober Team has rebuilt the 2001 original from the ground-up for current-gen systems, featuring the same story but with upgraded graphics and certain gameplay enhancements to bring it on par with contemporaries. With more rumored Silent Hill remakes on the way, fans may also expect fresh details about Townfall to emerge in the coming months, giving them a clearer idea of what to expect from this collaborative project.
Silent Hill is a series of survival horror games best known for its original trilogy. The first three games stood out with how atmospheric they were, along with their engrossing storylines that were often told through symbolism and metaphors.
Silent Hill 2 is set to be remade by Bloober Team, a game that could reignite the franchise.
