Silent Hill spin-off Townfall relocates franchise to fictional Scottish island

Glasgow-based studio Screen Burn is developing Silent Hill: Townfall, a new entry in the long-running Japanese horror franchise that is set on a fictional Scottish island rather than the series' traditional American settings. Director Jon McKellan said taking on the well-known brand felt "absolutely terrifying" for his relatively small team. The game features familiar British details, such as signage for a Sunday roast, woven into its horror setting.

Silent Hill and Resident Evil both hit fresh highs in 2020s horror gaming

Konami's Silent Hill franchise has rebounded with the Silent Hill 2 remake, spinoff Silent Hill F, and the upcoming Silent Hill: Townfall, following years of dormancy after Silent Hills was cancelled in 2015. Meanwhile Capcom's Resident Evil series has built momentum since Resident Evil 7, alternating remakes like Resident Evil 4 with new entries such as Village and this year's Requiem.
