Announced in 2022, fans worried Silent Hill: Townfall would face a similar fate to PT considering the staff walkout of Annapurna Interactive, but they insist it’s still in the works.
In September, the entire staff of Annapurna Interactive resigned from the studio, citing a major dispute with the owner. This left the future of the in-development projects under the Annapurna Interactive umbrella, including Silent Hill: Townfall, uncertain. Today, Annapurna Interactive posted on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, confirming that the upcoming collaboration with No Code Studios is still in the works — on the eve of the Silent Hill 2 remake release — despite the mass resignation of staff. The post can be seen below.
The Silent Hill: Townfall project was announced back in October 2022 as a co-production between Annapurna Interactive and developer No Code Studios (known for Observation and Stories Untold), featuring the same unsettling atmosphere that every Silent Hill game is known for. The teaser trailer, also introduced in 2022, showcased imagery consistent with the eerie, on-edge feeling of being a resident in the horrific town, complete with the haunting notion: “we are stuck here in this place…”
The announcement from Annapurna Interactive comes just one week before the release of the Silent Hill 2 remake on October 8, perfectly timed for spooky season and to remind die-hard fans that Silent Hill: Townfall is still in development. So far, all that has been shown of Townfall is the teaser trailer mentioned above and confirmation that the project is moving forward, with Annapurna Interactive as the publisher and No Code Studios as the developer.
Seeing how Annapurna’s entire staff resigned, and although they announced the title is still being developed by KONAMI, Annapurna, and No Code, they still have yet to offer any new information regarding Townfall. Fans can head to the official game portal for everything public knowledge so far on the iconic horror series.
