Silent Hill 2 Remake Officially Announced From Bloober TeamAfter many, many months of rumors and reports, Konami has finally announced the Silent Hill 2 remake from The Medium developer Bloober Team. There was a rumor here., Konami has finally officially shared its plans for the Silent Hill franchise.An interesting new Silent Hill game called Silent Hill: Ascension has been confirmed and it's being worked on by a number of key creative people, including Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.It’s been a noteworthy day for the Silent Hill franchise. It’s gone now. That’s right, the Silent Hill 2 remake rumors have faded into the fog and become a reality. No word yet on a release date, but it is notable that the game will be available exclusively on PS5 and PC for the first 12 months post release. The cult classic title that, to this day, tops many of “the best horror games of all time” lists is getting a complete remake. Silent Hill is one of gaming's most terrifying franchises and has made a name for itself based on how much it leans into psychological horror. Unlike the disappointment that was the HD Collection, this time, the game will be fully recreated from the ground up for modern hardware. After a lengthy conversation with Gans and his vision for Silent Hill 2, Konami shared all the neat merchandise it’s planning to release featuring, what else, a bunch of what will likely be ridiculously expensive but damn-cool statues of everyone’s favorite triangle helmet wearer — some kind of. Still, with such a beloved game, and Konami’s troubling track record in recent years, fans may have more concern at this announcement than immediate excitement. Gans and producer Victor Hadida discussed the development behind the story and shared artwork from Return to Silent Hill in a new teaser trailer. Contents Aside from a brand-new graphical overhaul, remakes can mean many different things.. Annapurna confirmed it is making a game called Silent Hill: Townfall, which is a bit more ambiguous, but seems to be the next mainline entry in the franchise. For Silent Hill 2, the question of exactly what will be — and, more importantly, won’t be — changed is on the minds of the dedicated fan base that holds the original in such high esteem. While Konami didn’t fully clear the fog on what Silent Hill 2 will be this time around, we turned on our radios, checked every locked door, and managed to come out alive with everything you need to know about the Silent Hill 2 remake. The presentation also shared that Konami is working on two totally new Silent Hill experiences. Note: There will be very minor spoilers for the plot of Silent Hill 2, but nothing beyond the basic premise. Abrams' Bad Robot Games, Behaviour (Dead by Daylight), Genvid, and DJ2 Entertainment. Further reading Release date Announcements can be hit or miss with giving release dates or even windows, and unfortunately, Silent Hill 2 remake’s reveal was deafeningly loud in failing to give us any form of time frame for when we can return to that town.” I’m not exactly sure what that means, but it sounds like Konami managed to make Until Dawn a multiplayer game. It nurtures the creative vision of the authors from the game, but with a different vision from a filmmaker. That typically means the developers aren’t confident quite yet on when they expect to wrap up production, so we would guess there’s at least a year’s wait on this game, if not more. Platforms Silent Hill 2 remake was revealed as a true current-generation exclusive, but also a console exclusive for the PlayStation 5. To close out the presentation, we got a short glimpse at a completely new Silent Hill game that’s not a remake or a movie or an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure. Fans will have the opportunity to change Silent Hill's canon forever, though it's still quite unclear as to what that might mean or look like. PC players will also get to experience the game on launch, whenever that may be, but Xbox players will have to wait until the exclusivity deal runs out, which could be as short as six months or as long as a year. Trailers Silent Hill 2 - Teaser Trailer PS5 Games The announcement trailer for the Silent Hill 2 remake is technically called a teaser since there’s no actual in-game footage, but it still gives us a nice, long look at the creepy town of Silent Hill.. It opens in the same dingy bathroom as the original game, only this time, James looks far more distraught. Abrams issued a comment about the game during the broadcast. Rose soon learns that the town is full of monsters and evil as she unearths Sharon’s dark past. He looks at himself in the mirror and asks himself if Mary could really be there waiting for him, knowing that she has already passed away from “that damn disease three years ago. Silent Hill F seemingly takes place in Japan (and therefore far away from the titular foggy town), and the trailer’s end features a grossly unsettling moment when a girl’s flesh falls off her face.” James steps outside, passes by the familiar map of the town by a diner, and heads down a street as Mary’s voice comes in with the iconic line, “In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. Trypophobes beware. This led to the creation of Silent Hill: Ascension, which will allow fans to interact with the experience in real time starting in 2023.” We cut to the disturbing scene where James first witnesses Pyramid Head in the apartments, as well as sees Laura outside the hospital. Even some late-game scenes, such as with the noose, are shown. New updates to the Silent Hill franchise have been long in coming. What appears to be a new cutscene of James attacking a nurse only plays for a moment but may indicate more additional scenes such as that.. Before the title drop, we see the meeting of James and Maria and Pyramid Head walking in from the rain. Much more was revealed thanks to a PlayStation Blog post with Konami producer Motoi Okamoto and the creative director and lead designer at Bloober Team. It was mentioned in the trailer but reiterated that both Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka, the original creature designer and composer, respectively, will join Bloober Team in developing this remake. Many attribute much of the original game’s success as a lasting horror masterpiece to the original Team Silent, so having two of those members involved may put some fans’ minds at ease. The primary goal for Bloober Team with the Silent Hill 2 remake is to “preserve the atmosphere that made Silent Hill 2 so exceptional while also modernizing many aspects of the game’s overall gameplay.” While they don’t explicitly mention how they will or will not be changing the story, that is probably the part most fans are curious about. While some shots do appear new, we will have to wait to see if any substantial changes are coming in that department. Gameplay The trailer showed off no gameplay, but again, the blog sheds light on how they intended to modernize Silent Hill 2. The original Silent Hill 2 used a semi-fixed camera that would track and pan as you dynamically moved through environments. You had some control over it, but it was mostly meant to frame things in a specific way. With the Silent Hill 2 remake, the team has decided to adopt a more traditional third-person, over-the-shoulder style, in a similar way that Resident Evil 2 Remake shifted from the fixed cameras of the original. This change is intended to make the game more immersive and visceral, which leads to a new combat system. The original had a clunky (perhaps intentionally so) melee combat system and basic gunplay. We don’t know how much will be mechanically different, only that the team says they intend to use the new perspective and combat system to rebuild set pieces and ways to keep the player immersed. The team also points out that the Silent Hill 2 remake will run on Unreal Engine 5, and they specifically point out the Lumen and Nanite features. Lumen is their dynamic illumination system that makes light interact with the environments in realistic ways to allow for more natural lighting. Nanite, meanwhile, is what was used to create highly detailed environments and levels. Being a PS5 console exclusive, there will also be features that take advantage of that specific hardware. 3D audio was highlighted as a way to bring players deeper into the titular town, as well as utilize the controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Multiplayer Nope. Staying true to the original, Silent Hill 2 remake will be a solitary, lonely, and foreboding experience that can only be tackled solo. Pre-order The Silent Hill 2 remake is a long way off. While we’d love to tell you how to reserve a place in this quaint resort town, it isn’t quite ready yet. As soon as pre-order information goes live, we will update you with all the gory details. Editors' Recommendations .
