Silent Hill 2 (Remake)

Release Date: October 8

Platforms: PS5, PC

Return to the fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill– you know, the one you see in your “restless dreams”– in this stunning reimagining of the iconic psychological horror classic.

Experience the haunting story of James Sunderland as he returns to the mysterious town, searching for answers and confronting nightmarish creatures that lurk in the dark recesses of the mind. You can look forward to enhanced graphics, atmospheric sound design, and updated gameplay mechanics that will only amplify the terror. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, prepare for an unforgettable journey into the human psyche.

We’ll be honest. It is no small task to “remake” one of the most lauded and beloved survival-horror games of all time… And we’re a little anxious to see how it really turned out! But we have faith that scary game veterans Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, The Medium, Blair Witch) call pull it off.
