1 week, 1 day - Silent Hill: Townfall reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PlayStation 5. Also available on PC. "Off the back of the more action-oriented sidestep of 2025’s Silent Hill f, Silent Hill: Townfall feels like Konami’s seminal survival horror series returning to what it does best. Its atmosphere is oppressively ominous, its central mystery is genuinely compelling to unravel and packed with themes that feel fresh, and its army of disfigured demons are exhilarating to both encounter and evade. The CRTV device that spots enemies hidden in your surroundings might slightly diminish the story’s ability to deliver major scares early on, but when Townfall eventually got me, it made sure it got me good. It also has some of the most cleverly designed and challenging puzzles I’ve experienced in any horror game in recent memory, many involving impeccable recreations of technology from yesteryear that really transported me back to its mid-nineties setting. Like the intravenous needle permanently jutting out of its hero’s wrist, Silent Hill: Townfall gives this long running series a welcome shot in the arm."

1 month - Ahead of its September 24, 2026, release date, Konami has revealed a new gameplay video that dives deep into Silent Hill: Townfall's cast, including Jovan Adepo (3 Body Problem, IT: Welcome to Derry, The Odyssey) as Simon, Kezia Burrows (Observation) as Zoe, and Terry O'Quinn (Lost, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live) as Richard.

2 months - Silent Hill: Townfall being in first-person definitely sparked the thought of what P.T. could have been, because my time with Townfall showed that the more intimate interaction with the environment can bring you closer to both the story it's trying to tell and the gameplay elements that give rise to such dread. I came in thinking it would be just another direction the series could explore, and came away eager for whatever comes after the end of my preview demo.

3 months, 3 weeks - In a very special IGN Live edition of Beyond, we're deciding which video game character from a non-Sony franchise deserves to be made an honorary PlayStation mascot. Some of the most beloved game characters ever debuted (or found success) on Sony hardware, from Lara Croft and Cloud Stryfe to Leon S. Kennedy and Solid Snake to Pyramid Head and Rayman. And, decades later, many of their respective game franchises are more popular than ever thanks to new installments like Resident Evil Requiem, Tomb Raider: The Legacy of Atlantis, Silent Hill Townfall, Rayman Legends Retold, and the long awaited third part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. So, we're pulling names out of hat, assembling a bracket, and bickering like schoolchildren about who deserves to be an honorary PlayStation character, even if they're just as popular on PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. #ignlive #gaming #playstation
