The Silent Hill Ascension interactive animated series reveals exciting new details. You have to have strong nerves to watch the episodes live.
The franchise is highly anticipated by an army of fans silent Hill will be making a comeback soon. After several years of errors, doubts and rumours, we now know that Konami is planning several projects related to the license in the coming months. Between the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 Remake or the mysterious Silent Hill fthere will be plenty for the players to do.
With a new movie name, the license will even go beyond the confines of video games Return to Silent Hillan adaptation of the second episode directed by Christopher Gans, scheduled for release in 2024. However, the most intriguing project remains the same Silent Hill: Ascension
Silent Hill Ascension says more, it looks confusing
Genvid Entertainment released a new video on YouTube introducing the people involved in creating the interactive animated series Silent Hill: Ascension Give us a lot of clear details. Stephan Bugaj, creative director, recalls the particularly ambitious concept of the producti on studio.
We take, for example, the basics of the Telltale games or Netflix’s Bandersnatch. All users will interact with the series at the same time. They will influence a canonical story that they will experience at the same time. The decisions made are canon for everyone, there is no turning back.
Therefore, watching the episodes of the series live is important to get the most out of the experience, but not necessarily. Stephan Bugaj explains that the decisions will be “open” for a while, possibly a day or a week, so as not to exclude those who weren’t there live. It is difficult to say how Genvid will proceed. We can imagine that only the choices at the end of the episode are affected by the mechanics mentioned by the creative director.
To all cases, Silent Hill Climb promises to be quite revolutionary in its genre. In reality, this has never happened before on this scale. Interactive series do exist, you can even find them on Netflix, for example, but these programs do not appeal to an entire audience at the same time, where rise involves all of its viewers.
A series that wants to make us suffer
« The The promise of Silent Hill: Ascension is to take on the promise of games that show how a person’s individual traumas and problems can become threats and monsters that hurt “, explains Shiaw-Ling Lai, production manager. With the series, Genvid Entertainment wants to show how these traumas can affect not only the person themselves, but also those around them and even an entire community in a larger setting.
By portraying characters who are disturbed, torn, Silent Hill: Ascension also wants to get the public to bond with them and inspire an unwavering desire to help them and save them from their traumas. The monsters created by Bad robot Stagings are intended to illustrate the feelings that stir up the protagonists: “violence, domination and obsession”.
This is enough to learn a lot more about what awaits us in the series, but also to realize that it really shouldn’t spare us. In addition, Genvid Entertainment points out that the roadmaps of Silent Hill: Ascension will be unveiled on Friday, July 21 at 11:30 a.m. on stage at San Diego Comic-Con 2023. Big announcements are to be expected regarding the long-awaited interactive program whose release date and broadcasting platform we do not know.
