Konami and Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2 is now available, and a week after its release, it appears to be doing very well in sales. Konami and Bloober Team announced that Silent Hill 2 surpassed 1 million units sold in the first week of its release.

Konami shared Silent Hill 2’s successful first week in a recent press release, shared by gaming social media outlet Wario64. Having released for PC and PlayStation 5 on October 8, 2024, Silent Hill 2’s sales mark a solid success for the game right from the start. The original Silent Hill 2 took about a month to reach one million, as reported by IGN. While Konami assigned development duties to Bloober Team, it’s worth noting that the original members of Team Silent, including composer Akira Yamaoka and concept artist Masahiro Ito, were also involved.

Before its release, Silent Hill 2 received high praise from several critics, including here at SamaGame. We liked its dense atmosphere, improved characters, and revamped combat, and we weren’t alone, as the game currently holds an overall critic rating of 86 on Metacritic, with user scores weighing in at 9.4 out of 10.

Off to a great start to release, Silent Hill 2 looks like a solid choice for this Halloween season. Stay tuned for more updates on Konami and Silent Hill as they come out, right here at SamaGame.
