Interactive Series 'Silent Hill: Ascension' Sets Halloween Night Launch

Silent Hill: Ascension, an interactive horror series developed by Genvid Entertainment and Konami Digital Entertainment, is set to launch tonight, aiming to kickstart a broader streaming initiative on Halloween.

The highly anticipated premiere of the series, which delves into the twisted world of a cult and the extreme measures its members are willing to take, will be available for streaming at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET. The new iteration of the series has already garnered significant attention, amassing an impressive 1 million pre-registrations across Google Play and Apple's App Store.

Joining forces with the Ascension series is Bad Robot Games, a division of JJ Abrams' renowned production company, along with Canadian gaming studio Behaviour Interactive.

The visionaries behind this project have grand aspirations for the series, aiming to extend its reach far beyond the traditional boundaries of interactive gaming. While platforms like Twitch and YouTube will serve as the initial foundations for the series' rollout, plans are underway to expand its presence to a wider entertainment platform. A pre-show event is scheduled for tonight at 7:30 ET, allowing fans to engage in live discussions with the creators.

According to the official logline, Silent Hill: Ascension follows the intricate lives of two families in grave danger. The story revolves around Rachel Hernandez, a rising mystic acolyte, mother, and community leader, who is tasked with performing a ritual on Joy Cirelli, a new member of the cult seeking spiritual healing. However, when things take a horrifying turn, Rachel must make a critical decision: should she instruct Joy to a) Finish the oath, b) Run for her life, or c) Plead for mercy?

The fate of the characters will be determined by the audience's response, offering countless potential outcomes as the series unfolds.

Following the premiere, viewers will have the opportunity to watch updated scenes on demand, solve puzzles, and actively participate in shaping the story's direction. Each day at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET, new scenes will be released, ensuring a captivating and immersive experience for the audience.
