The Silent Hill 2 remake was announced back in autumn 2022, but since then, we've only seen one trailer and that's it. But at State of Play, we finally learned a little more about the game, as the project authors showed a gameplay trailer.

Here's What We Know

First, they showed the foggy city of Silent Hill, which is both frightening and fascinating with its atmosphere. Next, you can see how James destroys enemies with the help of edged and firearms. And although the trailer lasts a little over a minute, we finally got to see the game itself, not just cinematic trailers.

When We Can Expect It

The release date is even more mysterious than Silent Hill itself. The game is expected to be released this year on PlayStation 5 and PC, but everything can change.

Flashback

Having received a letter from his late wife, James sets off in the hope of seeing her again in the city with which they are connected by memories: Silent Hill. There, by the lake, he meets a woman who looks very much like her. But what really brought him to the town?

Bloober Team is in charge of the development. The team approaches the remake with great care and respect for the original game. The developers are working closely with the creators of the original game to preserve the unique atmosphere of Silent Hill 2.

One of the features of the horror remake will be the standard third-person view. The game will also have a rebuilt combat system and improved facial animations to better convey the emotions of the characters.

The game is being developed on the Unreal Engine 5 game engine. Along with this, they are using Lumen for lighting and Nanite for level design. All this will help to update the foggy city and enhance its atmosphere.
