Silent Hill: Townfall revealed its cast at Gamescom Opening Night Live on 25 August 2026. Jovan Adepo plays protagonist Simon, Kezia Burrows plays Zoe and Terry O’Quinn plays Richard. The first-person psychological horror game launches on 24 September 2026 for PlayStation 5, Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Who is in the Silent Hill: Townfall cast
Konami used its Opening Night Live slot to put faces to the three central characters. It is the first time the studio has named any of its performers, having run the game’s marketing to this point without crediting a single one.
| Actor | Role | Best known for |
|---|---|---|
| Jovan Adepo | Simon | Young Will Reeves — Hooded Justice — in HBO’s Watchmen; The Leftovers, Fences, Overlord |
| Kezia Burrows | Zoe | Amanda Ripley in Alien: Isolation (likeness and performance capture); Nilin in Remember Me |
| Terry O’Quinn | Richard | John Locke in Lost; The Rocketeer, Millennium, The Stepfather |
The casting tells you what kind of horror game this is
It would be easy to file this under celebrity casting and move on. Look at the actual credits, though, and the pattern is narrower than star power — Konami has hired specifically for genre performance, and one name in particular is a tell.
Kezia Burrows provided the likeness and performance capture for Amanda Ripley in Alien: Isolation. That is not a generic video game credit. Isolation is the reference point for first-person survival horror built around being hunted rather than armed — and Townfall is a first-person horror game. Casting the actor most associated with that specific achievement is a fairly direct statement of intent about the kind of tension the game is going for.
Burrows has also done voice and motion-capture work across a large number of games, including Nilin in Remember Me, so she is a performer with genuine range inside the medium rather than a screen actor visiting it.
Two of the three have comic-book history
The comics connection here is stronger than it first looks, and neither instance is incidental.
Jovan Adepo played the young Will Reeves in HBO’s Watchmen — the man behind the hood in “This Extraordinary Being”, the episode that revealed Hooded Justice, the first masked vigilante in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ original comic, as a Black police officer who had survived the 1921 Tulsa massacre. It earned Adepo an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, and it remains one of the most acclaimed hours of superhero television anyone has made.
Terry O’Quinn’s is older and more obscure. He played Howard Hughes in The Rocketeer (1991), Disney’s adaptation of Dave Stevens’ comic — a film that flopped on release and has since become one of the more fondly regarded comic adaptations of its era. He is far better known as John Locke in Lost, a role that won him the 2007 Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
For a series whose last outing was built around a Japanese setting and a Japanese creative team, an ensemble drawn this heavily from prestige American and British genre television is a real shift in register. Konami has now made this kind of Gamescom cast announcement two years running — last year it was Silent Hill f, with Suzie Yeung and a release date.
Release date and platforms, precisely
Townfall arrives on 24 September 2026 — a date Konami set back in June, and one the cast trailer did not change. The platform picture needs stating carefully, because “console exclusive” is doing specific work here.
| Platform | At launch | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Yes | The only console version at launch |
| PC — Steam | Yes | Day one |
| PC — Epic Games Store | Yes | Day one |
| Xbox Series X|S | No | Not announced |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | No | Not announced |
| PlayStation 4 | No | Not announced |
The PlayStation 5 console exclusivity runs for at least six months, which is the detail worth holding onto. It means an Xbox or Switch 2 version is not ruled out — it is merely blocked until roughly March 2027 at the earliest. Konami and developer Screen Burn Interactive have not confirmed that either version exists, so anyone telling you it is coming to Xbox is guessing. PC players are not affected by any of this; the game is on both storefronts on day one.
What we already knew
Townfall is a first-person psychological horror spin-off from Screen Burn Interactive, set in the fog-bound Scottish town of St. Amelia, and it stands apart from both the mainline series and 2025’s Silent Hill f. If you want the full background on the game’s long gestation since its 2022 teaser, we broke it down in our guide to everything Silent Hill: Townfall actually is.
