The next release in one of the biggest video game franchises in the world was inspired by a small fishing village in Fife.
Silent Hill: Townfall is set in a fictional place called St Amelia, which is based on the real village of St Monans in the East Neuk of Fife.
The new release was created by Screen Burn, a Glasgow developer with about 30 employees, who said it was their "biggest and most ambitious game yet".
The survival horror series has sold millions of units since its first game was published by Japanese multinational Konami in 1999.
The most recent game in the franchise, a spin-off called Silent Hill f, sold a million copies the day it was released in September 2025.
