Genvid, Behaviour Interactive, Bad Robot Games, and dj2 Entertainment will launch the interactive streaming series from Konami’s IP sometime in 2023, but there are still some question marks…
The official description reads, “Silent Hill: Ascension follows multiple main characters from locations around the world 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. In Silent Hill: Ascension , the actions of millions will determine the outcome. By the time the last scene streams, which characters have survived? Will those who are left be redeemed, damned, or suffer? Even the project’s creators do not know how Silent Hill: Ascension will end. Instead, the character’s fates are in the audience’s hands. This time around, you won’t be experiencing fear alone. Instead, you and a global audience will have direct and permanent influence over how the fate of the characters and story plays out. It is your chance to shape the canon of Silent Hill forever.”
Bad Robot Games art director Chris Amaral in a press release, said, “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. The detailed environments, eerie ambiance, and realistic characters and monsters should enhance the horror experience, creating something pure Silent Hill while feeling unique for the franchise.”
Genvid Entertainment CEO Jacob Navok added, “Silent Hill: Ascension will captivate audiences with its immersive experience, spotlighting stunning visuals and live community-driven moments while exploring the psychological horror that has made the Silent Hill series so beloved by fans worldwide. For the first time in Silent Hill history, the collective audience can influence the story, determining crucial outcomes for this series’ complex, evolving characters.”
Motoi Okamoto, Silent Hill series producer at Konami, said, “Silent Hill fans and horror audiences everywhere have much to look forward to. 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. You will decide the fate of multiple main characters, which will unfold simultaneously around the globe.”
Silent Hill: Ascension will arrive in 2023. The issue is that we don’t know WHERE we will get to experience it!

![However, an anonymous GOG employee paints an even darker tone of the internal situation: „We were told it’s a financial decision. GOG’s revenue couldn’t keep up with growth, the fact that we’re dangerously close to being in the red has come up in the past few months, and the market’s move towards higher [developer] revenue shares have, or will, affect the bottom line as well.](https://thegeek.games/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-gog-1-302x180.jpg)
