Silent Hill 2 Release Date Revealed In New Trailer

The much-anticipated remake was featured during the latest State of Play event.

11 Comments

The upcoming Silent HIll 2 remake is highly anticipated--after all, it's based on one of the best horror games of all time--and fans eager for a taste got a new trailer as part of PlayStation's latest State of Play presentation. In a trailer that recreates several memorable scenes from the 2001 original, you can get your first glimpse at the game's performances, combat, and more. Oh, and it's been dated for October 8, most importantly of all.

The Silent Hill 2 remake is a PS5 console exclusive. It will tell the story of writer James Sunderland arriving in the titular town in search of his wife, whom he believed to be dead. The game uses a modernized gameplay style and perspective and will use 3D audio, haptic feedback, and the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers.

Unlike the original Silent Hill 2, developed internally at Konami, Bloober Team is responsible for the Silent Hill 2 remake. The studio is best known for its Layers of Fear games, as well as its supernatural horror adventure The Medium.

Following the State of Play show, Konami put on its second-ever Silent Hill Transmission, mostly focused on Silent Hill 2. For a 13-minute look at gameplay, including combat, some iconic scenes, and more, check out the video below.

Silent Hill 2 lands on PS5 and PC on October 8, 2024. You can preorder the game, or its Deluxe edition, and receive a number of bonuses, including two days of early access.

The audio design in Silent Hill 2 was some of the best if wearing headphones. Hopefully they've addressed the neverending locked doors.

I'm a huge SH fan and SH 2 is my all time favorite game. I abuse myself twice a year playing it (it's a Halloween staple). And I will admit, the extended gameplay has sold me. The only thing I'm not liking about it is the button prompts, reticle and item collected "HUD". The original was brilliant at just dropping you in with zero tutorial, no prompts, HUD or indication you had even taken damage unless you went into the menu for it. I'm hoping there is an option to play it "clean".

Also--Maria wants her leopard print mini-skirt back

I'm so excited for this. Long time Silent Hill fan, particularly 2 & 4. I haven't played the original in a very long time, but I played it several times. Even if this turned out to be a cut and paste game with updated graphics I'd be happy. It looks like they made expanded in some level design, which is nice. Facial animations looks awesome (especially compared to the original, lol). The single most important thing in this game is the vibe: atmospheric sounds, and music. Akira Yamaoka is the key, and they have that covered so...AWESOME!

Looks like an updated evil within game. I'll buy it but it won't be anything to remember for too long.

The gameplay trailer makes the game look better than the actual trailer.
