Silent Hill: Ascension premieres tonight, October 31, at 9:00 PM EST, Halloween night. For all those hardcore Silent Hill fans out there, this interactive series from developer Genvid Entertainment could be the extra treat you need.
While the title is an interactive choose-your-own-adventure type deal and not an actual game, it’s interesting that Genvid Entertainment consists of a number of ex-Telltale Games staff, known for The Wolf Among Us and other games of a similar style.
According to the official press release:
Genvid Entertainment and Konami Digital Entertainment will stream the premiere of SILENT HILL: Ascension, a Genvid Interactive Series, tonight, Tuesday, October 31, 2023 at 9 pm ET / 6 pm PT. Ahead of the premiere, Genvid will stream a pre-show event, hosted by Greg Miller and Kinda Funny where fans of SILENT HILL can gather together, get ready for the upcoming series and chat with series creators. The Premiere Pre-Show starts at 7:30 pm ET / 4:30 pm PT and is available in the SILENT HILL: Ascension app, at Ascension.com as well as Kinda Funny’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
Motoi Okamoto, producer of the Silent Hill series at Konami, stated:
Today is special because SILENT HILL: Ascension is the first project in the resurrection of the SILENT HILL franchise. I am very proud of this project as the SILENT HILL series producer and I am sure that you will love it.
Clearly, Silent Hill fans have a lot to look forward to as more live-action films are in the works, along with the remake of the legendary Silent Hill 2, my personal favorite entry in the series. And while Silent Hill: Ascension follows different characters and a wholly different storyline, it still holds elements of the Silent Hill fans know and love.
The experience is free, but a “Founder’s Pack” is available for $19.99. According to the press release:
The Founder’s Pack is available until November 14th PT and includes exclusive profile customizations such as a Founder’s icon, Founder’s frame, and exclusive themed frame, emoji, and sticker. The Founder’s Pack also includes a Season Pass allowing fans to unlock over 100 tiers of rewards and Influence Points plus additional exclusive cosmetics. The Founder’s Pack and Season Pass are priced at $19.99. The Season’s Pass is valid for the remainder of the SILENT HILL: Ascension season or approximately 6-months worth of content.
