Konami officially announced Silent Hill 2 Remake in October 2022. Since then, though, the publisher hasn’t shared any new details, screenshots or videos for it. Naturally, a lot of people assumed that the project was stuck in development hell. And, from the looks of it, this prompted Bloober Team to release a statement to clarify the situation.

Bloober Team claimed that they’re making good progress with the Silent Hill 2 Remake. The reason for the lack of news is mostly because of Konami. Konami is in charge of the game’s marketing. Even though Bloober Team would like to share more details, they can’t because of their agreement with Konami. In short, they have to respect the terms of their contract.
Silent Hill 2 Remake will be using Unreal Engine 5. Its initial trailer also showcased some truly amazing visuals. Thus, it will be interesting to see whether Bloober Team will be able to match them. Back in October, the team also shared the initial PC system requirements for it. According to them, an NVIDIA RTX2080 would be able to run it at 1080p/High/30fps. Now we all know how demanding Unreal Engine 5 can be. So, it will be interesting to see whether Bloober Team will revise those PC requirements.
In June 2023, the voice actor of the main protagonist claimed that Silent Hill 2 Remake was planned for an early 2024 release. So, perhaps that’s the reason why a lot of gamers are anticipating news or a trailer for it. However, you should keep in mind that the game doesn’t have any estimated release date window. We might see a new trailer at the TGA 2023, though nothing is set in stone as of yet.
So there you have it. Silent Hill 2 Remake is not in development hell. As to when we’ll get news, screenshots and trailers for it… that’s something that only Konami knows about.
Stay tuned for more!

I really wish this had come out this year and aw2 next year or whenever. Still a 2080 for 1080/30 seems crazy that should be 60 ultra settings, no rt. Wow really hope that’s not accurate. Doesn’t look like we’re getting Silk Song this year either.
“Sorry guys making actual games instead of walking sims is hard”
you didnt play the original did you? xD
Are you implying OG Silent Hill 2 was a walking simulator?
That has to be the single most retarded take I’ve ever seen on this site, and that’s one hell of a thing to achieve, you should get some kind of prize.
Looks like you not understand what Durka Durka mean. He mean, before Silent Hill Remake, Bloober team made only walking simulators, that’s why working on this game is very hard for them and progress is going very slow.
christ, imagine calling me retarded when you fail to get that this studio makes walking sims not games. This is why they have such a hard time making this game.
No, he implied the new dev makes walking sims.
even tho your response is as dum as any RE fanboy would say, Kojima’s overhyped azz deserve to get sh*t on , i would rather have actual games than a walking sims that riddled with obsessions with hollywood actors , Kojima is a hack
I hate silent hill 2 so i did.
The only statement I want to hear about this game is regarding it’s cancellation.
This is going to be trainwreck from the trailers and interviews.
We haven”t even seen the remake in action and people are being excessively negative before even seeing anything just because Bloober developing it , yall need to stop acting like b*ches and b*ch when you have the right time to b*ch , this Konami smear campaign is getting ridiculous
There’s a Konami Smear Campaign afoot?
Cool. I want in on it 🙂
I saw the trailer and read the interviews,it’s going to be pure mediocrity.
The melodrama showcased in the trailers alone is enough to make it a bad remake.
i dont like either bloober or konami or sillent hill 2 so if this turns out to be a disaster i will laugh my a*s. First game was better.
Third game was the best. More linea, but Zero filler.
first was the best because you could actually explore the town.
Media these days. If the studio don’t give them a monthly screenshot from the same place, they come with these kind of bullshït.
What they’re going to do without their daily gossip, right?
dude wtf? I said this studio makes walking sims not that silent hill 2 is a walking sim and you say my takes are stupid.
Are you drunk, sir?
Replying to the wrong post is the first signal of brain damage.
LMAO
i did not replied at the wrong posts, check who you upvote.
Well, this is gonna be bad.
Great move by Konami 👍
Shouldent overhype things to hell and back!
People these days are inpatient little brat B*ches!
Keep the hype BS at low. Only way to go!
Konami 👍
“Now we all know how demanding Unreal Engine 5 can be.” Yeah sure demanding,developers using UE5 have not offered anything special,only you are in love with nanite and lumen. Tanking fps more than half compared to similiar looking games is not demanding,it’s unoptimized use of resources .
