“The latest updates for the SILENT HILL series, will be revealed during the #SILENTHILL Transmission.”
The “transmission” will take place on Wednesday, October 19, at 10pm UK time.

This is likely why the website requires you to input your age before being allowed to watch the upcoming announcement.
