Release date for Silent Hill: Ascension
Based on the teaser trailer presented during the showcase, Silent Hill: Ascension is set to be released sometime in 2023. Unfortunately, Konami and the rest of the developers involved haven’t given a more specific date yet but with only two months left in 2022, it may not be too long before we get a more defined launch date.
Silent Hill: Ascension will also notably be a jointly developed title by Konami, Genvid, Bad Robot Games, Behaviour Interactive, and DJ2 Entertainment. With the aforementioned entry being teased as a fan-driven series, it makes sense that Genvid are part of the development process as they are a company mainly known for creating interactive titles, such as The Walking Dead: Last Mile.
Plenty of other announcements were made during Konami’s Silent Hill Transmission such as the long-awaited remake of the fan-favorite Silent Hill 2. Another entry that was shown during the stream included Silent Hill f, which is a spin-off title written by well-known Japanese author Ryukishi07.
Silent Hill: Townfall was also exhibited and is another spin-off game that will be published by the widely acclaimed Annapurna Interactive, who are known for their popular games such as Stray, 12 Minutes, and Outer Wilds.
