Silent Hill: Ascension Will Let You Decide The Series' Canonical Story
Silent Hill: Ascension was announced alongside the Silent Hill 2 remake a few months ago, and while most of us were understandably focused on returning to one of the best horror games of all time, it looks like Ascension could be one of the series' most ambitious games yet. You could play a direct role in shaping the official Silent Hill story, too.
In a new trailer, developer Genvid Entertainment--the studio behind The Walking Dead: Last Mile--paint a suitably bleak picture. Set in several places around the world rather than in the titular Silent HIll, the game sees horrors living in communities and passed on from one generation to the next. Murders in the various communities, as well as «long-suppressed guilt and fears,» cause monsters to emerge and terrorize those within. We see several monsters in the trailer, including a Lovecraftian giant and some sort of bat-like monster, with a human figure wielding a scepter in the shadows at the very end.
