After going a literal decade without any new Silent Hill games, 2022 saw Konami finally unveil a bunch of projects in the works. One of the most exciting was undoubtedly the remake of the classic Silent Hill 2. In development by horror aficionados Bloober Team, it seems as though the title is gearing up to launch some time this year.
Releasing a promotional trailer for the PlayStation 5 in 2024, Sony advertised a bunch of games which are seemingly planned to release this year. Amongst the many already-confirmed 2024 releases, the trailer curiously includes footage from the Silent Hill 2 Remake.
While this does not necessarily mean that the game will definitely be released this year, the game is clearly internally targeting a 2024 launch.
So far we have seen very little from the game. That being said, in March of last year Bloober Team’s co-founder and CEO Piotr Babieno spoke on its progress, saying:
“Silent Hill 2 is technically ready. It does not mean that the game is finished, but we are close. However, the issue of the release schedule lies with our partners, what the promotion will look like and when the title will debut is not directly in our hands.”
Considering the fact that Silent Hill 2’s Remake has technically been ‘ready’ for many months now, it makes sense that 2024 would be the year that Silent Hill finally makes its grand return – 10 years after the release of the now-iconic PT.
