Konami has announced the main cast of Silent Hill: Townfall. To say there are some good actors would be an understatement. It’s interesting to see established actors in the cast, as Silent Hill has often gone with unknowns in previous entries. Along with the announcement, a brand new trailer was released which you can watch below.
Terry O’Quinn, who played John Locke in Lost, plays Richard, “the enigmatic man who summons Simon back to St. Amelia and sets in motion the events of SILENT HILL: Townfall. As Simon’s journey unfolds, Richard’s connection to both the town and its troubled past becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.” Anyone who watched Lost knows just how good of an actor he is, but his credits also include The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, Hawaii Five-O, and Resident Alien.
The protagonist of Silent Hill: Townfall is played by Jovan Adepo, recently in The Odyssey. He’ll play Simon Ordell, “a man called back to the remote Scottish settlement to “put things right”. Awakening with few answers, Simon is soon drawn into a journey shaped by cryptic messages received through a strange pocket television known as the CRTV and fragments of a past he can barely remember.” Adepo was one of the best things about IT: Welcome to Derry, playing Leroy Hanlon.
Finally, Observer actor Kezia Burrows plays Zoe, “a compassionate nurse whose voice reaches out to Simon through layers of static on the CRTV, urging him to “come back to her”. Unable to turn a blind eye to those in need, Zoe found herself deeply entangled in the lives of St. Amelia’s residents and the events that shaped the town.”
It’s not long until Silent Hill: Townfall releases. Set entirely in first-person, it intends to take the franchise in a new direction while staying true to what made it integral in not only the horror genre, but in gaming as a whole. It releases on September 24 for PS5 and PC.
