A new Silent Hill: Ascension trailer just dropped. The nearly two-minute-long video gives us some more insight into some of the characters in the upcoming interactive streaming event, though probably leaves us with more questions than answers.
From the trailer, we get some snippets of two stories and the people and families involved. You might be surprised to find they come from a rather diverse set of locations.
First, we travel to a coastal village in Norway and meet Astrid Johansen, of the Johansen family, who insists very much that she didn’t kill her son. Saying that alone raised our suspicion that she did, in fact, kill her son. Maybe we’ve misjudged her.
We find a second family in the Silent Hill: Ascension trailer, the Hernandez family of Pennsylvania, with one of its members being even more sus. A woman standing over an ancient anatomical diagram, mulling over an apparent… mistake?
“I did everything correctly. Exactly as I was taught. Every word. Every cut. But what I saw? It was something new, something we don’t understand.”
What exactly involves old texts, diagrams of organs, and a very non-sterile knife we can’t say. We’re more curious about what she expected from some kind of occult surgery than what resulted.
We see twisted figures wrapped in barbed wire, misty landscapes covered in falling snow or ash. There’s even something that looks weirdly like a demodog from Stranger Things.
It’s all kicking off, and we’re along for the ride.
Silent Hill: Ascension is an upcoming interactive event that kicks off on Halloween and runs news stories each day, with the participation of the whole player base affecting how the story will play out. Who lives, who dies, and what the canon will be when the dust settles is down to the players as a whole.
Sound interesting? You can pre-register now for Silent Hill: Ascension via the Google Play listing.

Update 7/11/2023: Konami has said Best Buy "had the incorrect information" regarding Silent Hill 2 Remake's Pyramid Head origin story.
Bloober Team and Konami's forthcoming Silent Hill 2 remake will feature a playable origin story for Pyramid Head, according to a Best Buy listing. Specifically it says "fan favourite character, Pyramid Head, makes a return along with a special origin story for fans to play through." That's pretty much all she wrote, where the much vaunted "news-reporting" aspect of this news article is concerned. Now to spend several hundred words whining about why this is probably a terrible idea.
Silent Hill: Ascension premiered last night, and I don't think I've ever seen the long-suffering Silent Hill fandom look quite this miserable before.
Happy Halloween from the Silent Hill development team.

Never let it be said that video game companies don’t know how to have fun with their fanbases and properties. Whether it’s Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony, each one of them has created things over the years that go beyond just “making video games” and play into the public love of other things. For Sony, they’re continuing to push the PlayStation 5 system as it’s been doing great sales-wise ever since the parts shortages ended a while back. As such, Sony decided that one of the best ways to highlight their characters and console was to become an official sponsor of the Champion’s League!

The big return for the Silent Hill franchise is upon us. Fans for the IP had waited for what felt like an eternity to get their hands on a new game. Konami had kept this franchise dormant ever since the split between Hideo Kojima and the studio. That departure resulted in Silent Hills being scrapped. But last year, we got word of Silent Hill making a massive return with several video game projects in the works. Our first game back into the IP is coming at the end of this month with the release of Silent Hill: Ascension. Today, a new premiere trailer was released, giving us more insight into the interactive series.
Genvid’s interactive streaming series Silent Hill: Ascension will have weekly episodes on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Bravia Core app for Bravia TVs, and Xperia app on select Xperia smartphones as part of a deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Genvid Entertainment and Konami Digital Entertainment said the interactive streaming series Silent Hill: Ascension will debut on Halloween.
