The story and its creators

SILENT HILL: Townfall – The Dock House is written by game writer/director Jon McKellan, with pencils by David Roach. Both official announcements identify it as part of 2000 AD Prog 2500, rather than a standalone game expansion.

Its announced premise follows Douglas, a veteran harbor master repeating his isolated routine at St. Amelia’s dock house. An impossible staircase beneath the harbor leads him toward another disturbing reality. That is the publisher’s synopsis, not a page-by-page retelling of a comic we have read.

KONAMI calls it an official narrative companion; 2000 AD describes a prequel and a standalone chiller. Those descriptions support its connection to the game’s world without declaring that every interpretation is canonical or required to understand Simon’s ending.

Format or region Announced date Official source
Digital September 16, 2026 KONAMI US announcement
UK print September 16, 2026 2000 AD announcement
North American / US print September 30, 2026 KONAMI US and 2000 AD

2000 AD also uses a broader “globally on September 30” phrase. Keeping the explicitly stated UK, US and digital rows separate avoids turning that wording into a claim that digital access began only on the 30th.

Where the announcements direct readers

Both announcements identify the 2000 AD Webstore and app for digital reading and comics/newsagent distribution for print. Open the publisher’s announcement to reach its issue information.

The supplied text does not establish a distinct free PDF download or its file format. “Digital” should not be rewritten as “free PDF,” and the announcement does not confirm present stock in every store. Look for Prog 2500 so you are checking the issue that actually contains the story.

Its relationship to the game’s story

The announcements describe an additional perspective on St. Amelia that preserves the mysteries awaiting players in the game. They do not identify Douglas as one of the game’s playable protagonists or say that the comic resolves every remaining plot question.

For Simon, Zoe and Richard, use the character reference. For the game’s disaster and ending interpretations, continue to story explained, which carries full spoilers.
