Silent Hill 2 Remake Trailer
Mateusz Lenart, creative director and lead designer of the Bloober Team, said:
Silent Hill 2 is a beloved and timeless classic. While this description may seem cliché, it is no less true for most of the members of the Bloober team. Out of respect for the original game, we paid special attention to this remake. One of our main goals is to keep the atmosphere that made Silent Hill 2 so great, while modernizing many aspects of the gameplay. We work hand in hand with the original creators, including Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito, to ensure that the unique feel of Silent Hill remains intact.
The release date for Silent Hill 2 Remake on PS5 (temporary exclusive) and PC via Steam is unknown.
