The Most Mysterious New Silent Hill Game Gets More Details

Silent Hill: Ascension's announcement left a lot of unanswered questions, but one of its creators has shed some light on what fans can actually expect - including the fact that the interactive streaming event will only ever run once.

Speaking to a well-known Silent Hill leaker known as Dusk Golem on Twitter (below), CEO of Genvid (a streaming software tools company working on the game) Jacob Navok revealed that Ascension is a narrative-based, branching choice cloud streaming experiment.

Konami is essentially going to stream, only once, a choose your own adventure-style Silent Hill mini-series where the stream's chat will collectively decide what happens, essentially letting the fanbase create its own Silent Hill canon. Crucially, it will only ever be aired once, according to Navok.

These decisions will determine characters' relationships, fates, if they live or die, and so on, seemingly not unlike a Telltale game (and former Telltale staff members are actually working on Ascension). The "hours" of content will be presented through video game cutscenes.

The experimental project is being created between Genvid, the gaming arm of J.J. Abrams' film and TV production company Bad Robot, Dead by Daylight studio Behaviour Interactive, and video game-to-TV specialist production company dj2 Entertainment. Navok said the team was equally excited and nervous to reveal it to the world.

Though we'll need to wait until the event premieres to get a full idea of what it involves, it seems to be akin to The Walking Dead: Last Mile, another interactive streaming event spearheaded by Genvid.

Ascension was announced at Konami's Silent Hill Transmission showcase with a brief trailer that shows off some of its streaming and interactive elements, as well as a shadowy, monstrous threat. Silent Hill 2 Remake was also announced, alongside two further spin-offs (Silent Hill: Townfall and Silent Hill f), and a new movie.
