Silent Hill Ascension: Release date, trailers & more

Silent Hill Ascension

Silent Hill Ascension is a hybrid experience in the Silent Hill series as Konami looks to resurrect one of the most significant horror names in gaming for another round of psychological terror.

Silent Hill Ascension was announced during the Silent Hill Transmission event. Unlike the also announced Silent Hill f, the supposed remake of Silent Hill 2, and the equally mysterious Silent Hill: Townfall, Ascension will be a unique mix of a streaming show and video game where you can influence the outcome of the characters, worlds, and stories you witness.

The experience will be a joint production overseen by Bad Robot Games, Behavior Interactive, Genvid Technologies, and DJ2 Entertainment with each developer contributing their own stylings.

Silent Hill Ascension will be an online experience where a collective of players/viewers interact with the story to shape it. Exactly how it will work is still under wraps, but we do have some clues thanks to trailers.

Does Silent Hill Ascension have a release date?

Yes, the first Silent Hill Ascension series premiere livestream goes live on Halloween, Tuesday, October 31, 2023 at 9pm ET/6pm PT on the mobile streaming app or at Ascension.com.

The app is now available for pre-order and pre-registration but will be available for download on October 31, 2023.

Trailers

Check out the game’s initial reveal trailer that whets the appetite of thirsty fans.

After a long time without anything fresh information, Silent Hill Ascension’s Official Trailer pulled back the curtain on Konami’s horror project a bit more.

Experience and setting

The trailer shows a tall tower guarded by an armored demonic figure as several players frantically work together (online) to save a member of their team. It appears as though players will need to climb the tower, hence the title, dodging monstrous entities as they work together to complete various goals.

While we know the title will be an interactive experience, just how similar it is to other series entries is unknown. The interactive nature of the Ascension could resemble other narrative horror adventures, however, it’s important to stress that Ascension isn’t a game in the traditional sense.

So, that’s everything we know so far about Silent Hill Ascension. For more on the biggest upcoming releases, check out our pages on some of the most-anticipated games that have been announced:
