Months after its release, what has happened to ‘Silent Hill: Ascension’?

Since the first episode of ‘Ascension’ was released, Konami has found itself entangled in something much worse than fan hatred: absolute indifference.

It was launched as the next vital chapter of the ‘Silent Hill’ saga, but since the first episode of ‘Ascension’ came out, Konami has been involved in something much worse than fan hatred: absolute indifference. The web series in which we can make decisions that change the course of the game has not regained the popularity it had at its launch, back on October 31st of last year… And many believe that it has quietly died.

Silence, hills

Everything points to the fact that the number of views (or games, as you want to call them) of this project has gone in the opposite direction of “ascension”. And, in fact, after episode 8, which was released on December 21st, the developers asked Konami to slow down and release the new episodes more calmly in order to have weekends off. The classic “If no one cares, at least leave us alone”.

And although initially the game was supposed to last six months (each quarter a “game” with different decisions), it is most likely going to be extended to ten so that the creatives can sleep peacefully. But it will not be removed from the Internet even if there are only 5000 people interested around the world for a simple reason: it is already done, and it only needs to be implemented according to the users’ decisions. It will go down in history as one of the most cursed projects in the franchise. And with Kojima’s Silent Hills out there, frankly, it’s commendable.

What’s happening with the new Silent Hills for consoles? It’s been a year without any news about them

We’ve been knowing exactly the same thing for a year. They are supposedly still growing the studio to bring this game to light, so the recommendation is that we sit and wait

In October of last year, fans of ‘Silent Hill’ were given their first big joy in years: the saga was going to make a comeback in a big way, with the remake of the second part, an interactive game called ‘Ascension,’ and two spin-offs: ‘Townfall’ and ‘F’. Since then until today, they have only fulfilled one of the promises: ‘Ascension,’ which has caused public outrage. What has happened with the rest? Will we ever see this promised resurrection?

Return to Silent Hill

At least we can say there’s some good news amid the radio silence: Konami has hired more team members for the new ‘Silent Hill,’ or at least, they’re in the process of doing so. On their job portal, they’re looking for artists, planners, engineers, and project managers, showing a determined commitment to the franchise. There are more confirmed remakes in the pipeline… but apart from that, little else is known about it lately.

It’s a shame because ‘Silent Hill Townfall’ has everything to be a success. No Code in development, Annapurna in publishing, a game filled with small independent stories that… Well… that’s about it. For a year now, we’ve known exactly the same information. Supposedly, they’re still expanding the studio to bring this game to light, so the recommendation is to wait patiently. It’s not very different from the situation with ‘Silent Hill F.’

We know it’ll be a new installment in the main series, which has been dormant for eleven years. However, for now, all we have is a question posed by the game director, Alan Yang, on Twitter asking followers what they thought the “F” stood for in a work-related bet. Other than that, no details have been revealed, so the only thing we know for sure is that Konami still believes in the game. It hasn’t been canceled. Yet.

As for ‘The Short Message,’ we have a bit more information. It’s been hinted that the game will tackle subjects like suicide, leading to it being rated for adults only (18+) in Australia. However, the game remains in limbo because Konami hasn’t even officially announced it yet.

The one that has been announced, and with a big fanfare, is ‘Silent Hill 2‘, slated to land on our consoles in 2024, without a specific date yet. The fact that the studio believes in this franchise again doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll give us bait to reel us in. There’s still a long way to go before we can feel scared again. Even ‘Return to Silent Hill,’ the movie accompanying this relaunch, has indefinitely postponed its release. We’ll see how it all turns out, but they’re taking their time.

¿Qué está pasando con los nuevos Silent Hills para consolas? Llevamos un año sin saber de ellos

Llevamos un año sabiendo exactamente lo mismo. Se supone que aún están haciendo crecer el estudio para traer este juego a la luz, así que la recomendación es que esperemos sentados

En octubre del año pasado, los fans de ‘Silent Hill’ se llevaron su primera gran alegría en años: la saga iba a resucitar por todo lo alto, con el remake de la segunda parte, un juego interactivo llamado ‘Ascension’ y dos spin-offs: ‘Townfall’ y ‘F’. Desde entonces hasta hoy, solo han cumplido una de las promesas: ‘Ascension’, que ha causado la repudia del público. ¿Qué ha pasado con el resto? ¿Veremos algún día esta prometida resurrección?

Retorno a la colina silenciosa

Al menos podemos decir que hay alguna noticia buena dentro del silencio de radio: Konami ha contratado más equipo para los nuevos ‘Silent Hill’ o, al menos, está en ello. En su portal de empleo buscan artistas, planificadores, ingenieros y directores de proyectos con lo que parece una apuesta decidida por la saga, para la que habrá más remakes confirmados… y de la que poco más conocemos de un tiempo a esta parte.

Y es una pena, porque ‘Silent Hill Townfall’ lo tiene todo para ser un éxito. No Code en el desarrollo, Annapurna en la edición, un juego repleto de pequeñas historias independientes que… Bueno… Hasta ahí. Llevamos un año sabiendo exactamente lo mismo. Se supone que aún están haciendo crecer el estudio para traer este juego a la luz, así que la recomendación es que esperemos sentados. No es muy diferente de la situación de ‘Silent Hill F’.

Sabemos que será una nueva entrega de la saga principal, que lleva once años parada, pero de momento solo tenemos una pregunta hecha por el director del juego, Alan Yang, que preguntaba a sus seguidores de Twitter que creían que significaba la “F” por una apuesta en el trabajo. Por lo demás no suelta prenda, así que lo único que sabemos seguro es que Konami sigue confiando en el juego. Cancelarse no se ha cancelado. De momento.

Algo más sabemos de ‘The short message’, del que solo se ha avanzado que tratará temas como el suicidio, lo que ha llevado a ser calificado en Australia para mayores de 18 años. Eso sí, el juego permanece al limbo porque Konami ni siquiera lo ha anunciado aún.

El que sí ha anunciado, y por todo lo alto, es ‘Silent Hill 2’, que aterrizará en nuestras consolas en 2024, sin fecha determinada. El hecho de que la productora confíe de nuevo en esta franquicia no significa que nos vaya a dar cebo para que vayamos picando. Aún queda mucho para que podamos volver a pasar miedo. Incluso ‘Return to Silent Hill’, la película que acompañará este relanzamiento, ha retrasado su estreno de manera indefinida. Veremos en qué acaba la cosa, pero van a su ritmo.

You might not be aware, but there’s a new ‘Silent Hill’… And the fans already hate it

Each day there will be a new episode based on the decisions made by the live audience the previous day, who will be able to vote for 24 hours.

One of the biggest mysteries in the history of video games is understanding why Konami rejected Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Silent Hill’ game and, instead, chose to usher in a decade without any games in the franchise. Especially when, for the first time in a long while, ‘P.T’ was being praised and reviving the sense of horror from the early games in the series. Instead, ten years of waiting have led to ‘Silent Hill: Ascension.’ And that’s not a good thing.

Don’t look for me anymore, I don’t live there anymore.

After ten years without returning to Silent Hill, Konami has decided that its triumphant comeback will be… a video game in the style of ‘Black Mirror: Bandersnatch’ where the player will have to make choices that will affect the rest of the storyline. Well, actually, it’s much more complex: each day there will be a new episode based on the decisions made by the live audience the day before, which can vote for 24 hours.

But this won’t be a democratic vote; those with more “influence points” (in other words, those who perform better in some rather ridiculous mini-games) will have more say in deciding who lives and who dies. All through the Ascension app or their website. Playing a game and feeling like it’s homework: well done, Konami.

The creators’ idea is for you to drop everything you’re doing to watch the live show because it’s free, and you should take advantage of it. Or you can pay twenty dollars per season and get rewards and more influence points. Oh. They say that more than a million people pre-registered, and the viewership level is much higher than expected. But, of course, the season has just started. The interesting part will be what happens when it ends.

Another problem? The chat was filled with sexual references (specifically, to ejaculation) and they had to take it down immediately. It’s as if they don’t know how the Internet reacts when it’s frustrated. At the moment, those who have tried it either say it’s a scam, or believe it will be the most hated ‘Silent Hill’ experience ever. In any case, it doesn’t look good… especially when this was supposed to be the first step in the resurrection of the franchise. Something tells me that, for now, it’s going to stay buried.
