KONAMI and 2000 AD Announce Official SILENT HILL: Townfall Comic Story
Written by lead writer and game director Jon McKellan with artist David Roach, SILENT HILL: Townfall - The Dock House explores a prequel story set in St. Amelia
WINDSOR, UNITED KINGDOM – September 10, 2026 – Konami Digital Entertainment, B.V. (KONAMI) announced today a collaboration with legendary British comic publisher 2000 AD to create an original comic story inspired by the world of SILENT HILL: Townfall. The new story, titled SILENT HILL: Townfall - The Dock House, has been written by lead writer and game director Jon McKellan and serves as an official narrative companion to the upcoming game. Acclaimed artist David Roach (Nemesis The Warlock) provides pencils for this eerie new story.
Part of the stacked lineup for 2000 AD’s milestone Prog 2500, available on 16th September in the UK and 30th September for the USA, via Lunar Distribution in print, and available digitally worldwide through the 2000 AD Webstore and App. SILENT HILL: Townfall - The Dock House offers fans an additional perspective on the isolated island community of St. Amelia, expanding upon the haunting world and atmosphere of SILENT HILL: Townfall while preserving the mysteries awaiting players in the game.
The story follows Douglas, a veteran harbour master who has spent decades maintaining St. Amelia's dock house. Trapped in an endless routine surrounded by fog and isolation, Douglas discovers an impossible staircase descending beneath the harbour, forcing him to confront a terrifying reality hidden beneath the surface of the town.
2000 AD’s Editor In Chief Matt Smith says of the haunting new partnership: “The atmospheric horrors of SILENT HILL are a great fit for 2000 AD, so when we were approached to publish a special tie-in story for SILENT HILL: Townfall, it was something I knew the readers would thoroughly enjoy immersing themselves in – and with David Roach on art duties, it’s an especially moody, eerie piece that works as a standalone chiller”.
Jon McKellan (SILENT HILL: Townfall Writer and Director at Screen Burn) said "It's incredibly exciting to expand the world of SILENT HILL: Townfall with a new short story, and a personal milestone for me as a writer to get a chance to contribute to an issue!. It feels especially fitting for a game set in the UK to feature in a UK national treasure like 2000 AD, and watching David bring the words to life has been a joy. I'm excited for readers to experience a slice of the world we've built, and discover its connection to the game.
As one of the UK's most celebrated comic publishers, 2000 AD has spent decades producing acclaimed science fiction, fantasy and horror comics. With SILENT HILL: Townfall set in the remote Scottish island of St. Amelia, the partnership was a natural fit, bringing together a distinctly British setting and one of the country's most enduring comic institutions.
SILENT HILL: Townfall - The Dock House will be available as part of 2000 AD Prog 2500, the landmark issue, in all good newsagents and comic stores on September 16, 2026 in the UK, and September 30, 2026 in the USA. Fans globally can also read the issue digitally through the 2000 AD Webstore and App.
Releasing on PlayStation®5, Steam®, and Epic Games Store on September 24, 2026, fans can pre-purchase SILENT HILL: Townfall. For more information, visit the official website.
