It is expected to be released in 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Windows.
Gameplay
Townfall is played from a first-person perspective.[1] While Simon can use melee weapons such as planks and pipes to defend himself, he can also use stealth to hide from enemies. Simon is equipped with a CRTV handheld device which allows him to detect the location of nearby enemies.[2]
