Silent Hill 2 remake: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more

The Silent Hill 2 remake rumors have faded into the fog and become reality. The classic title is considered by most to be one of the best horror games of all time, and now it is getting a complete remake. Unlike the disappointment that was the HD Collection, the game will be fully recreated from the ground up for modern hardware. Still, with such a beloved game, and Konami’s troubling track record in recent years, fans may have more concern about this announcement than immediate excitement.

Aside from a new graphical overhaul, remakes can mean many different things. For Silent Hill 2, the question of exactly what will be — and more importantly, won’t be — changed is on the minds of the dedicated fan base that holds the original in such high esteem. While Konami didn’t fully clear the fog on what Silent Hill 2 will be this time around, we turned on our radios, checked every locked door, and managed to come out alive with everything you need to know about the Silent Hill 2 remake.

Release date window

There hasn’t been a solid release date listed for this remake, but Silent Hill 2 was quietly featured in an official Sony video previewing 2024 releases. Pending any delays, it sounds like we’ll get to replay this all-time great horror title this year.

Platforms

Silent Hill 2 remake was revealed as a true current-generation exclusive, but also a console exclusive for the PlayStation 5. PC players will also get to experience the game on launch, whenever that may be, but Xbox players will have to wait until the exclusivity deal runs out, which could be as short as six months or as long as a year.
