Silent Hill: Townfall Invites Annapurna, NoCode to Shape the World of Silent Hill

In addition to several other Silent Hill announcements, today we learned that one of the upcoming new Silent Hill entries is being co-produced by a surprising pairing: Annapurna Interactive, and NoCode Studios. It’s called Silent Hill: Townfall.

Announced at today’s Silent Hill Transmission Livestream, Silent Hill: Townfall’s reveal consisted of a series of unsettling images. Most of the teaser swapped between images of ocean waves in black and white (and, at the end, bright red) and a slow zoom in to a pocket CRTV while a voice demanded to know why the listener was here.

Following the trailer, NoCode creative director Jon McKellan appeared on screen to talk briefly about working on the game, saying it “respects the source material but also does something a little bit different with it.” He added that while they can’t show more yet, there will be more info shown sometime next year. And suggested that viewers watch the trailer again to “see what you might have missed.”

Annapurna Interactive has previously published an impressive indie roster, including games like Stray, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Donut County, Outer Wilds, and more. Earlier this year it unveiled a significant slate at its annual showcase that included a new game from the creators of Kentucky Route Zero, an update on Thirsty Suitors, and a new project from Keita Takahashi and Uvula.

Incidentally, it looks like this project is the mysterious unannounced project Annapurna teased with NoCode during that same showcase, from the creators of Observation and Stories Untold. NoCode apparently had to double in size to make it happen.
