Silent Hill: Ascension has revealed a brand new trailer, giving us a look at exactly what this live gameplay experience will entail. And it doesn’t look like the game we’ve been holding out for. For multiple reasons.
The first being that, well, Ascension isn’t going to be a standard game. The PR has been very clear with us about this – Silent Hill: Ascension will take the form of 'an interactive streaming series’ in which the viewers decide the fate of the characters, together, by bidding on them. Per the PR, "no one is playing a character" – so there is no James Sunderland-type agency here. Does this sound eerily like a hobbled version of Supermassive Games’ Until Dawn and The Quarry? Yes.
You’re not wrong for thinking that, either. With some caveats. If someone presented me the trailer for Ascension with no prior context or branding, I would’ve honestly mistaken this trailer for another Supermassive endeavour, perhaps cut through with a little Netflix Bandersnatch. This isn’t a bad thing, considering Supermassive’s titles are equal parts unnerving and fun.
