The next Silent Hill has a twist fans won't see coming
by Grant St. Clair · Boing BoingI know you just got done running around and trying to keep your sailor suit intact in Silent Hill f, but Konami has another helping of moody horror for you already. Silent Hill is a yearly franchise now, remember? After 2024's Silent Hill 2 remake and 2025's Silent Hill f, the series is going for a threepeat with Silent Hill Townfall, which we've known was in development for a while but are just now getting details on.
It looks like much more of a return to form for the series, with an unreliable narrator, a town wrapped in spooky fog, uncanny NPCs, and… oh, damn it, it's in first person now.
Granted, it may not be the worst thing in the world. The scariest Resident Evil, for instance, is also the one that went first-person for the first time in the series' history. Hopefully, this shift is more a genuine creative move to make the horror more intimate and less a trend-chasing imitation of its more successful rival series.
