Before diving into this week’s Silent Hill special, please give last week’s discussion on XCOM: Enemy Unknown a listen.
Silent Hill is FINALLY having a moment.
After the tease that was 2014’s P.T., few fandoms have been clamoring for a new main series game announcement quite like this franchise’s faithful. And after last week’s Silent Hill Transmission from Konami, fans will be feasting soon-ish.
Not only was the long-rumored remake of the beloved Silent Hill 2 finally confirmed, but Konami laid out a loose roadmap for the future of the Silent Hill brand. Not one, not two, but THREE spin-off games were announced: Silent Hill: Townfall, Silent Hill f, and Ascension.
Little is known about what these games will entail, but seeing the brand being applied to non-traditional S.H. experiences is exactly the mold-breaking move someone like myself clamors for. And at the very least, not ALL of Konami’s time is being dedicated to more fucking skateboards.
So for this week’s episode, Neil and I dig into these announcements and more to discuss the series’ bold and seemingly bright future. – Jay Krieger
