Silent Hillfans get ready because theSilent Hill 2 Remakeis coming to PlayStation 5 and PC. This has been a dream come true among the fanbase for many years now, ever since it was officiallyannouncedin 2022. During the most recent PlayStation State of Play, Konami revealed thecombatfor the remake.
With a traditional third-person over the shoulder angle, theSilent Hill 2 Remakeis making the gameplay experience more comfortable for new and old players alike. By the end of the trailer, it still says “In Development for PlayStation 5” with no release date in sight. Could this anticipated remake drop this year? Or are we still a few years away from theSilent Hill 2 Remakerelease date?
What’s the Silent Hill 2 Remake Release Date?
As of right now, Konami have not officially stated whenSilent Hill 2 Remakewill be released. We do know it’s a timed console exclusive on PlayStation 5 and will also launch on PC. TheSilent Hillfranchise has been in a state of limbo with no main series title since 2012 withSilent Hill: Book of Memorieson PS Vita.
And after the disappointing cancellation of Kojima Productions’Silent Hillsin 2015, the series has been quiet ever since. TheSilent Hill 2 Remakeshould reignite interest within the popular horror franchise.
Some fans believe theSilent Hill 2 Remakerelease date is sometime this year, 2024. They believe this because in PlayStation’sUpcoming Games in 2024video,Silent Hill 2 Remakemakes an appearance.
While this could be a silly mistake,Silent Hill 2 Remakecould drop this year. Considering the development cycle, late 2024 would be a reasonable release date. However, PlayStation could have shot the gun too soon and teasedSilent Hill 2 Remakefor this year without Konami’s permission.
It would be dope to play this classic survival horror remake later this year, especially during the Halloween season. Either way, theSilent Hill 2 Remakerelease date has yet to be made official.
What’s Ahead for Silent Hill 2 Remake
Judging by the combat reveal,Silent Hill 2 Remakeis coming along very nicely. The visuals are absolutely stunning, much more realistic than the 2001 original game. The gameplay is now from a third-person over the shoulder angle as opposed to the original’s fixed camera perspective.
Players might see the similarities between this newSilent Hill 2 Remaketo Capcom’s recentResident Evilremakes. A massive overhaul in the gameplay department to introduce these games to new players while also providing longtime fans a fresh experience.
Even though theSilent Hill 2 Remakewill likely have less emphasis on combat compared toResident Evil, it’s cool to see these horror game remakes take inspiration from one another.
The visuals and the combat have been remade from the ground up but thestorywill remain intact to the original. You’ll play as James Sunderland exploring Silent Hill after receiving a letter from your wife, Mary, who died from an illness three years ago. The team knows if they change the story at all,Silent Hillfans will be upset.
TheSilent Hill 2 Remakelooks near completion but more behind the scenes busy work might prevent it from dropping anytime soon. Whether it’s later this year or a couple years from now, theSilent Hill 2 Remakewill be available on PS5 and PC.
