Silent Hill 2 Remake goes on sale for the first time

Silent Hill 2 Remake has gone on sale for the first time. Developer Bloober Team and Konami released the remake of the PS1 classic last month, and it ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the year. Given the previous one’s somewhat spotty track record and lackluster marketing performances, not many people had high hopes for the remake, but it came out and is one of the best releases of 2024. And now it’s available for purchase, something it’s never been been. for.

Unfortunately, for those on PS5, sales are limited to PC, the game’s other platform. Meanwhile, those on PC will want to act quickly as the discount expires very soon. And this is because it comes thanks to a fanatical flash sale.

“After receiving a letter from his late wife, James heads to the place where they shared so many memories, hoping to see her again: Silent Hill,” reads an official blurb about the game for those unfamiliar with the remake. ‘There, by the lake, he finds a woman who looks eerily like her… ‘My name… is Maria,’ the woman laughs. Her face, her voice… She’s just like her.”

The official pitch for the game continues: “Experience a masterclass in psychological horror – hailed as the best in the series – on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds.”

“As a newcomer to Silent Hill 2, I am so impressed with this new remake,” an excerpt reads our official review of the game. “Bloober Team captured the spirit of games from this early PS2 era so faithfully that it left me reminiscing and longing to go back and play more games from that era. That’s why I really want to go back to the original Silent Hill 2 and see how it ties into this remake. While I can’t say how long SH2 fans will receive this updated version of the game, for anyone who hasn’t played any Silent Hill games yet, this is a perfect starting point.
