Silent Hill: Townfall Teases a Prepaid Power Mystery in Scotland

Kotaku’s 19-minute Silent Hill: Townfall gameplay trailer drops Simon on the foggy Scottish island of St. Amelia in 1996, where a handheld CRT TV doubles as a monster radar and objective guide, and the house’s power is restored with a prepaid electricity card—a detail tied to real UK billing practices—while the demo raises questions about Simon’s IV, the organ container, and what the town’s malevolent energy company is really up to, with the game arriving September 24.

Silent Hill: Townfall aims to subvert expectations with a British-set psychological horror

Eurogamer’s preview of Silent Hill: Townfall presents a game that preserves the series’ psychological horror core while deliberately subverting expectations with a grounded, British coastal town setting, a new combat rhythm that favors caution, a narrative-driven puzzle design, and a mystery centered on Simon and Zoe. Developed by Screen Burn Interactive (formerly No Code) with Konami and Annapurna, Townfall leans into familiar SH motifs while exploring fresh gameplay ideas, including a “peek and hide” mechanic, multiple endings, and a CRTV clue system that guides rather than hand-holds the player.

Konami Seeks to ID Culprit Behind Mass MGS2 Source Code Leak

Konami has filed a California lawsuit to identify the person or people who leaked the Metal Gear Solid 2 source code and internal assets, naming 4chan and two file-hosting sites (pixeldrain.com and buzzheavier.com) as locations where the materials appeared. The complaint seeks court help to compel site owners to reveal information about the original posters; the defendants are listed as Does. The leak, dating from around 2007, included an unreleased MGS2 Substance Wii port and various game versions, trailers, and demos, suggesting the code may originate from the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, and Konami aims to find the leak’s source.

Konami Takes Legal Action to Trace Metal Gear Solid 2 Source Code Leak

Konami filed a California lawsuit on June 2 to identify the person who leaked Metal Gear Solid 2's source code, which surfaced on 4chan and two file‑sharing sites; it issued cease‑and‑desist orders and is seeking subpoenas to preserve data and identify the leaker, but the court denied those subpoenas for now due to insufficient due‑diligence evidence, leaving Konami pursuing the source of the leak while fans explore potential cut content in the code.

Konami and Evil Empire announced Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse with an Oct 15, 2026 launch for most platforms, but the Nintendo Switch version will arrive separately in 2026 and may slip to 2027; there are no plans for a Switch 2 version, and the game will work on Switch via backward compatibility. The title features whip-centric combat, multiple weapons and abilities, puzzle-filled biomes, and a new art style while staying true to Castlevania’s roots.
