The Surprising Divide Among Silent Hill: Ascension Fans

Highlights

The highly anticipated game Silent Hill: Ascension is set to revolutionize interactive gaming. Drawing inspiration from acclaimed titles like Until Dawn and Telltale games, it will adopt a captivating narrative style. What sets Ascension apart is the player's ability to shape the game's canon through their choices, as these decisions will have a permanent impact on the series.

The game is slated to launch on October 31st at 6 PM PST. However, fans in different countries might not be able to participate in the live event due to the time zone difference. To alleviate this issue, Jacob Navok, the Executive Producer, has assured that all choices will be accessible to everyone at least 24 hours ahead of time. Additionally, crucial choices will remain available for even longer durations. Moreover, VODs will be provided for those who wish to watch the event at a later time.

Many fans eagerly await the highly anticipated release of Silent Hill: Ascension, but some feel a bit left out now that the game's release date and time have been confirmed. This game was first announced a year ago during the Silent Hill Transmission showcase, where several upcoming projects in the franchise were revealed to be in development. Silent Hill: Ascension will offer an interactive experience, allowing the audience to shape the story through their input.

The storytelling approach of Silent Hill: Ascension is expected to be similar to games like Until Dawn or Telltale games. However, what sets this upcoming interactive Silent Hill game apart is that the choices made by viewers will have a permanent impact on the series' canon. This unique and thrilling prospect has generated great excitement among fans of the franchise, who eagerly await the launch of Ascension.

Silent Hill: Ascension is set to release on October 31st at 6 PM PST, with pre-registration for the mobile version already open. However, due to the time difference, this means that players in the UK and other countries will have to stay awake until the early hours of the morning to participate. This is particularly unfortunate since Halloween falls on a Tuesday, and many eager players will likely be asleep and miss out on the initial excitement of the game's release.

Adding to the disappointment, the live multiplayer aspect of Silent Hill: Ascension means that some players would feel excluded, regardless of the launch time. In response to this concern, Executive Producer Jacob Navok has addressed the issue on Twitter to reassure fans. He guarantees that all choices in the game will be available to everyone at least 24 hours in advance, and important choices will even be accessible for an extended period of time. While there may be exclusive elements during the livestream, any decision that impacts the story of Silent Hill: Ascension will be accessible to all players.

Silent Hill: Ascension will be presented as a live-streamed TV show, running for a duration of six months. However, for those who miss the live broadcast, video-on-demand (VOD) options will be provided for later viewing. The story will unfold with new scenes airing daily at 6 PM PST, incorporating the audience's decisions from the previous 24 hours. These daily scenes will then be combined into a weekly episode. It is noteworthy that even the developers are uncertain how the show will unfold. Silent Hill: Ascension will be available on mobile and PC starting from October 31 at 6 PM PT.
