Silent Hill: Ascension Official Premiere Trailer
Konami’s revival of the Silent Hill franchise kicks off with a new project called Silent Hill: Ascension on Oct. 31, giving horror fans some fresh Halloween night entertainment. The interactive streaming series will let viewers decide the fate of its protagonists as they confront their painful pasts and discover what has brought them into the foggy, terrifying world of Silent Hill.
While viewers will be able to steer the story of Silent Hill: Ascension through real-time decisions made through the series’ website and apps on Apple’s App Store and Google Play, there will be other ways to watch the series. Producers Genvid Entertainment announced Tuesday that Ascension will also stream as “packaged episodes” every week through the Sony Pictures Core app, which is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Sony’s Bravia televisions, and select Xperia smartphones.
Silent Hill: Ascension will premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 9 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. PDT. It can be streamed on Android and iOS devices, or through the series’ website, Ascension.com. New interactive scenes will drop at the same time each day, and the series is expected to run about six months, creators say.
A Silent Hill: Ascension app for mobile devices is available for preloading via the App Store and Google Play. The app is free and indicates there are in-app purchases available. We’ve reached out to Genvid to ask about pricing for any in-app purchases.
The canonical story of Silent Hill: Ascension will take audiences to a “troubled rust-belt town in Pennsylvania called Hope’s Junction, rebuilding itself after a fatal steel mill accident decimated its economy,” according to a news release. The series will center on a resident of Hope’s Junction named Rachel Hernandez, who is held responsible for that accident. Ascension will also tell an intertwined story of a “dying fishing village in Norway named Stilledalen” and the Johansen family, who find their lives “upended when their matriarch, Ingrid, dies under suspicious circumstances.”
How these characters are related, and who will survive the events of Silent Hill: Ascension, will play out throughout the interactive streaming series.
