The Silent Hill Franchise is Diversifying with Three Distinctive Titles

Silent Hill Franchise Future Revealed by Konami

Silent Hill Townfall, Ascension, and f

Konami has announced exciting news for Silent Hill fans, including a long-rumored remake of Silent Hill 2 and three new games set in the same universe: Silent Hill Townfall, Ascension, and f. Each game offers a unique experience, with Townfall being the most traditional Silent Hill game of the trio, developed by Annapurna Interactive and No Code, known for their narrative skills and horror world-building.

Ascension, on the other hand, is a unique interactive streaming series created by JJ Abrams and his studio, Bad Robot, along with Genvid. This installment allows the community to shape the canon of Silent Hill, emphasizing the theme of facing trauma together. Ascension is set to be released in 2023 and aims to blend community, live storytelling, and interactivity in a new form of entertainment.

Silent Hill f introduces a departure for the series, developed by Ryūkishi07, known for crafting acclaimed visual novels with psychological horror and supernatural mysteries. The game’s teaser showcases a beautiful yet gruesome world set in 1960s Japan, featuring a young woman consumed by a flesh-eating plant. While the release date and platforms for Silent Hill f are yet to be announced, the teaser promises an exciting and horrifying experience for players.

Konami’s renewed interest in the Silent Hill franchise extends beyond the new games, with Bloober Team working on a remake of Silent Hill 2 and a new movie titled Return to Silent Hill in the works from Christophe Gans, the director of the 2006 film adaptation. Fans can look forward to a reimagined and expanded universe of Silent Hill in the near future.
