The official trailer for SILENT HILL: Ascension has arrived, giving us a look at a new cast of characters fighting for survival.

SILENT HILL: Ascension is an upcoming streaming series that will introduce multiple new characters, locations, and monsters to the horror franchise. However, rather than being a straightforward show, SILENT HILL: Ascension refers to its video game roots by incorporating an interactive element. Viewers watching live will be able to collectively make decisions that impact how events unfold, which will have a "direct and permanent influence" on the story, characters, and SILENT HILL canon.

It sounds a bit like playing a Supermassive horror game such as Until Dawn or The Quarry, but making decisions with millions of people across the globe instead of yelling with your friends in your living room.

"For the first time in the SILENT HILL history, the collective audience will be able to influence the story, determining crucial outcomes for the complex, evolving characters in this series," said Genvid Entertainment CEO Jacob Navok.

SILENT HILL: Ascension is scheduled to premiere this year.
