‘Silent Hill: Ascension’ Premieres This Halloween; Pre-installation of App Now Available [Trailer]

Those of you waiting on Silent Hill: Ascension won’t have to wait much longer. Developer Genvid Entertainment has announced that the new interactive series will launch on October 31 at 9pm ET/6pm PT on the mobile streaming app or at Ascension.com, with pre-installation now available. Fans can prepare for the world premiere by pre-installing the free streaming app from the App Store and Google Play. This all coincides with a new trailer for the series that reveals the premiere date.

First revealed a year ago during Konami’s Silent Hill Transmission stream, this latest entry into the Silent Hill universe follows an ensemble of new characters across never-before-explored locations, tormented by new and terrifying Silent Hill monsters. Silent Hill: Ascension puts the main character’s fate in the audience’s hands, ultimately determining who faces redemption, suffering or damnation.

The experience is all tied together with a score by cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy fame, with creature designs by Bad Robot Games.

Ascension features “an extensive ensemble” of intricately developed new characters, monsters and locations in the Silent Hill universe. The series features a fresh, unnerving narrative using Genvid’s real time interactive system that enables millions of people to help characters survive and change those characters’ fates.

Lara Croft From ‘Tomb Raider’ Joins ‘Dead by Daylight’ on July 16

Published

on

Lara Croft has normally tip-toed the horror line in the Tomb Raider series, but now she’s going all in as the newest Survivor for Dead by Daylight. Lara will be joining The Fog on July 16, with a Public Test Build currently happening on Steam.

The story for this latest DLC has Lara Croft trapped in the bleak Realm of the Entity, stripped of her bow and trusty pistols. She must now use her survival skills, bravery and tenacity in order to escape. Those three qualities are manifested in her 3 unique Perks that will tip the scales in her favor.

Finesse activates while you are healthy, with your fast vaults 20% faster. This perk does have a cooldown after performing a fast vault, which is reduced per level. Hardened activates after you unlock a chest and cleanse or bless a totem. Anytime you would scream, you now reveal the Killer’s aura instead. Lastly is Specialist, where each time you open or rummage through a chest, you gain 1 token. When you do a great skill check on a generator, all tokens are consumed, reducing the maximum required generator progress.

The update (for which you can check out the notes here) will also have various gameplay tweaks to other perks, updates for certain Killers, as well as the usual bug fixes.

Dead by Daylight: Tomb Raider will be available for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.

In the meantime, you can check out the latest crossover for Dead by Daylight with Dungeons & Dragons.
