Silent Hill 2 is one of the most acclaimed survival-horror games of all time, standing out as the signature game of the series despite countless follow-ups and attempts to recapture that magic. Now, Konami is doing what we all knew was inevitable: a full Silent Hill 2 remake. Announced in late 2022, the game is coming to both PS5 and PC, introducing a horror masterpiece to a new generation of players. Here's what we know about the Silent Hill 2 remake so far, including release information, the story, the development team, and more.
Release date
Konami has not yet announced a release date or even a release year for the Silent Hill 2 remake. From this, we can infer it is likely not going to be anytime soon. A 2023 release isn't out of the question, but we'll have to wait and see for the publisher to provide concrete details.
Platforms
Unlike the other big upcoming horror remake, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2 will be a PS5 console exclusive. The game will only be available on PS5 and PC (via Steam). Because it is being made in Unreal Engine 5, last-generation systems are out of the question, and it should be able to take better advantage of the newer system's horsepower.
