Silent Hill: Ascension is an interactive horror television series set in the universe of the Silent Hill video game franchise. It was developed by Genvid Technologies and Behaviour Interactive in collaboration with rightsholder Konami Digital Entertainment. Bad Robot Games provided the art direction, sound design, and creature design, and Senscape contributed to the cinematics.

The series follows an ensemble cast from around the world being tormented by manifestations of their trauma in the wake of recent murders, threatening to consume their children. Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto wanted to expand the franchise outside of the titular town, with the goal of making it synonymous with the psychological horror genre as opposed to a location. Stephan Bugaj developed the core story with Shanon Ingles and her interactive narrative studio Martian Brothel, who led the writing staff.

 

Nearly twenty hours of footage were produced, including alternate versions of major scenes, allowing for different outcomes and narrative branches.[2] The plot is directed by viewer participation on the official site and mobile app in the week before an episode airs. Konami was interested in the project due to the unique technical premise and worldwide streaming platform, which they hoped would attract audience members to the video games.

The interactive component premiered on October 31, 2023. Console applications were initially planned but cancelled due to software incompatibility. The television series is distributed through video on demand, Sony Pictures Core, and Tubi.
