Alongside the trailer, the Silent Hill Transmission also revealed additional details about Silent Hill: Ascension. Genvid CEO Jacob Navok explains that Silent Hill: Ascension will be a social experience that will take place on a massive scale.

Silent Hill: Ascension will be a live, real-time interactive horror series. Those who watch it can also help in changing the outcome of the story, and even be a part of some of the scenes in the series.

“There is no reset button,” says Navok. “The decisions you make will mean life or death in the story.”

Silent Hill: Ascension was only one of the things unveiled during Konami’s Silent Hill Transmission. Other announcements include a remake of Silent Hill 2, a new mainline entry in the franchise titled Silent Hill f, and Silent Hill: Townfall.

Touted as Romeo & Juliet meets District 9, DJ2’s Dmitri Johnson confirmed the web series will launch in 2013. He then went on to explain how DJ2 came to be producing the series:  “I assumed someone already got it because it was so huge. Big names were chasing this – A-list directors and big hit agencies.”

HAWKEN’s creative director Dan Devon also explains the premise of the series: “They witness an event that suggests there is more to the nano-virus than meets the eye. Now the race is on to discover the virus’ origins and true purpose before their respective clans wipe each other out in a final, climatic battle.”
