Silent Hill: Townfall Opens To A Metascore Of 81 On PC And PS5
Konami's decision to hand the series to Screen Burn and move it to first person produced a solidly reviewed game rather than a breakout, with the loudest reservations aimed at technical execution rather than the new direction itself.

Silent Hill: Townfall released on September 24, 2026 for PC and PS5, and overseas reviews have settled at a Metascore of 81 for both versions, from 31 PC reviews and 75 PS5 reviews. Critics rate the horror elements, sound design, and story highly, while technical problems and the first-person perspective draw criticism.
Silent Hill: Townfall puts the player in the role of a man washed ashore on an isolated island, wandering a town held under deep fog and silence. Konami Digital Entertainment published it, with Screen Burn developing, and the game is advertised as the first mainline entry in the series to use a first-person perspective.
Scores cluster tightly in the low 80s and high 70s. Eurogamer Germany writes that the game does not overhaul the series but enriches it. Insider Gaming notes that stressful puzzles and technical problems keep it from reaching a higher level.
