Silent Hill 2 Remake: Gameplay trailer and release date confirmation

Also present during the recent PlayStation State of Play live stream event, KONAMI brought more news about the anticipated remake of Silent Hill 2, their 2001 survival horror game, originally released for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC. While this isn’t the first time the game has been re-released on consoles, particularly as part of the Silent Hill HD collection on the next generation, it is the first time the full game has been remade. Silent Hill 2 Remake (or simply Silent Hill 2) is currently in development by Bloober Team, and its release on PlayStation 5 is now confirmed from October 8, 2024, both physically and digitally.

This announcement is complemented by a series of promotional videos for Silent Hill 2 Remake covering gameplay previews, promotional videos, cast interviews, and a developer diary. You can check them all out below:

Release Date Trailer

The most traditional trailer of the bunch. As James descends deeper into the fog of Silent Hill, he encounters a familiar face: Angela.

14-minute gameplay trailer

This announcement was also accompanied by a nearly fourteen-minute gameplay trailer. Experience the guilt, heartbreak and existential horror of James Sunderland as he explores the city of silent Hill, a place he and his late wife Mary used to visit. This backdrop, now shrouded in fog, serves as the setting for the remake. The trailer also expands the areas players can explore, introduces an over-the-shoulder view, revamps the combat system, and adds new cut scenes. Whether you’re new or a seasoned veteran, I hope you’re wondering what awaits you in the alleys and corridors shrouded in silent Hill?
