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.
