‘Silent Hill: Townfall’ Officially Confirms 5 Different Endings, But There's a Catch

Hannah has been writing about horror, sci-fi, and all things nerdy since 2021. At Collider, she covers news and conducts interviews, along with contributing features that dive deep into genre storytelling and why it works. If there’s something lurking in the shadows, she’s probably already writing about it if she’s not too busy watching a tape from her VHS collection.

For nearly three decades, Silent Hill has encouraged players to question everything they see. That uncertainty doesn’t stop once the credits roll. Some of the series’ most beloved entries have sparked years of debate over which ending, if any, represents what “really” happened, with fans continuing to dissect every detail long after release. That tradition isn’t going anywhere with Silent Hill: Townfall. In fact, the upcoming horror game is doubling down on player interpretation.

During a roundtable interview attended by Collider’s Hannah Hunt following a hands-on preview of the game, writer and director Jon McKellan and Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto confirmed that Townfall will feature five different endings. More importantly, they made it clear that players shouldn’t expect Konami to declare any one of them the definitive conclusion.

Asked whether players would need multiple playthroughs to experience every ending, McKellan revealed that Townfall includes five endings in total. Three can be unlocked during a first playthrough, while two more secret endings are reserved for New Game+. Unlike many narrative-driven games, however, those endings aren’t determined by obvious dialogue choices or last-minute decisions.

“They’re not based on the A, B choices. It’s more how you play, the things that you’ve done, the time you’ve spent in areas,” McKellan explained. “We’re trying to kind of… our ending system kind of tries to figure out what kind of player you were and what kind of ending feels natural to the way you played.”

Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.

Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.

Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.

Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.

Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.

Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.
