After a long hiatus, we’re about to experience an explosion ofSilent Hillreleases. From the official remake of the second game to brand-new entries, Konami’s iconic horror series is finally making a comeback. Along with these isSilent Hill: Ascension, which has just released its premiere trailer.
Billed as an interactive experience that viewers can influence the outcome of,Ascension‘s recent teaser gives a little taste of things to come. It also confirms – though we already knew at this point – that the “live series” will begin on October 31, starting at 9pm ET / 6pm PT. You can pre-install it by going to theofficial website.
It’s being developed by J.J. Abram’s Bad Robots Productions company in conjunction with Behaviour Interactive (yes, the people behindDead by Daylight), Genvid Entertainment, and DJ2 Entertainment.
Make your choices
Each day, viewers will get to decide what happens to the characters in theSilent Hillexperience. You’ll get to watch (play?) it while also making decisions in real time. The story will play out depending on audience choices.
The story is described thus:
The Hernandez family plummets into chaos as another death shakes their decimated rust-belt town in Pennsylvania. In a dying fishing village in Norway, the uneasy peace of the Johansen family is upended when their matriarch, Ingrid, dies under suspicious circumstances. Survival depends on them overcoming their darkest impulses and the machinations of a cult, as they discover the horror that connects them.
While it’s almost certainly going to be likened to such things asBandersnatch,Ascensionis at least a unique way of reigniting theSilent Hillflame. While many of you are eagerly awaiting Bloober Team’s remake ofSH2, Bad Robots’ interactive offering is something a lot of horror fans will also be looking forward to.
