Genvid Entertainment and Konami Digital Entertainment have debuted a new trailer for “SILENT HILL: Ascension,” a Genvid Interactive Streaming Series going live later this year.
The new series will feature high-fidelity visuals screaming across devices and follows characters from locations around the world as they are tormented by new and terrifying “Silent Hill” monsters. Lurking in the shadows, these monsters threaten to consume people, their children, and entire towns as they’re drawn into the darkness by recent murders and long-suppressed guilt and fears.
“SILENT HILL: Ascension” will feature a fresh, unnerving narrative using Genvid’s real-time interactive system. Fans will directly influence the story and characters, ultimately determining the series’ outcome. An outcome that will be a canonical entry in the “Silent Hill” franchise.
“SILENT HILL: Ascension will captivate audiences with its immersive experience, spotlighting stunning visuals and live community-driven moments, all while exploring the psychological horror that has made the SILENT HILL series so beloved by fans worldwide,” said Jacob Navok, CEO of Genvid Entertainment. “By participating in SILENT HILL: Ascension, you will leave your legacy in the canon of SILENT HILL. And, in collaboration with Konami Digital Entertainment, Bad Robot Games, and Behaviour Interactive, we’re offering fans the unique chance to become part of the story themselves.”
Each day, fans can engage with a can’t-miss story that will influence the events of the following day’s stream. Which characters will survive? Who will be redeemed, damned, or left to suffer? Even the project’s creators do not know how “SILENT HILL: Ascension” will end. Instead, the character’s fates lie in the hands of the audience.
“SILENT HILL fans and horror audiences everywhere have a lot to look forward to,” said Motoi Okamoto, a producer of the SILENT HILL series at Konami Digital Entertainment. “We are pleased to tell a new interactive story, in never-before-explored locations, alongside new characters that will be introduced to fans of the SILENT HILL universe. It is you who will decide the fate of multiple main characters, which will unfold simultaneously around the globe.”
“We’ve gone the extra mile to create a dreamlike world in SILENT HILL: Ascension with disturbing, hyper-detailed characters, other-worldly monsters, immersive atmospheres, and an overall audio and visual design that our team is very proud of,” said Chris Amaral, Art Director at Bad Robot Games. “The detailed environments, the eerie ambiance, and the realistic characters and monsters should really enhance the horror experience, creating something that is pure SILENT HILL, while also feeling unique for the franchise.”
Genvid – in conjunction with partners Konami Digital Entertainment, Bad Robot Games, and Behaviour Interactive – will reveal more details in the coming months.
