Three Silent Hill games announced as Konami revives dormant series

Konami officially revealed three new games in the Silent Hill series in a special event today: Silent Hill: Ascension, Silent Hill: Townfall and Silent Hill: F. This is in addition to the remake of Silent Hill 2 it also announced, as well as a new movie. We don’t yet know the release dates of any of the games (except Ascension), but they appear to be launching on PlayStation consoles.

The first game Konami showed was Silent Hill: Townfall. Developed by No Code and Annapurna Interactive, we saw no actual gameplay in the trailer. Instead, it shows a handheld radio tuning into different frequencies. The trailer flashes brief glimpses of images, no doubt to stir the hunger of longtime fans. A voice describes being “in this place and being judged by these … people.” The only image I was able to discern appeared to be the hallway from Silent Hills’ playable teaser.
