In my restless dreams, I see that game. Silent Hill 2 remake. And now, it looks like that long-awaited game is finally has a release date. Here’s when Silent Hill 2 will be releasing.

When Does Silent Hill 2 Remake Release? – Answered

Following months of speculation, the Silent Hill 2 remake was finally announced in October 2022. This announcement marked the first game in an ongoing campaign to rejuvenate the Silent Hill franchise. And while Silent Hill: Ascension didn’t grab players, in large part due to its buggy platform and heavy pay-to-choose marketing model, Silent Hill 2 might be the turning point.

And now we know the release date! During the Silent Hill Transmission, the release date was finally revealed to be on October 8. That means in no time at all we’ll have Silent Hill on our platters, hopefully sans dog.

The Silent Hill 2 remake will be handled by the Bloober Team, who are best known for their break out game Layers of Fear and, more recently, The Medium. Both games are psychological horror, but it’s still left to be seen how the Bloober Team will handle the beloved Silent Hill 2 title. In the Silent Hill Transmission, we were able to see a fair bit of combat, which may indicate that we’ll spend more time beating faceless monsters to death than avoiding them. Both the Bloober Team and Konami have played news about Silent Hill 2 close to their chest, but as we grow closer to the official release, we’ll likely learn more concrete details and how close to the original the remake will be.

For those who haven’t played the original Silent Hill 2 game, it follows James Sunderland, who has received a letter from his dead wife, calling him to Silent Hill. Once there, he finds himself faced with a grim town and unsettling monstrosities as he searches for his wife.

Silent Hill 2 will be available on PC and PS5.
