Konami and Bloober Team have announced that they are working on a remake of the first Silent Hill game. This was hinted at in Konami’s Press Start June 2025 event. So, let’s dive in.
At that event, Konami stated that they are working with Bloober Team on a new Silent Hill project. However, the official account of Silent Hill spilled the beans on X. As we can clearly see, this new Silent Hill game is basically a remake of the first Silent Hill.
As the official Silent Hill X account specifically said, Bloober Team is working on a remake of “SILENT HILL”, which was released on PlayStation in 1999.
So, there you have it, everyone. Right from the horse’s mouth. The new SH game from Bloober Team will be a remake of the first SH game.
Since SH2 Remake used Unreal Engine 5, we can safely assume that this one will also use it. After all, Bloober Team is using UE5 for its latest game too.
If Silent Hill 2 Remake is anything to go by, we should expect a faithful remake to the original game. In other words, the puzzles will remain the same. The story will also be similar to what players experienced back in 1999. The only major change will be in visuals and, perhaps, overall exploration.
Silent Hill 2 Remake was my GOTY 2024. So, I have high hopes for this new remake. Bloober Team knows what’s doing. They have proven themselves with SH2 Remake. So, yeah. I’m really looking forward to it.
I just hope that this game won’t suffer from all the stutters that plagued Silent Hill 2 Remake. While it wasn’t a complete mess, SH2 Remake had some awful stutters at the later levels. So, let’s hope that Bloober Team will use Unreal Engine 5.6, which aims to address a lot of these stutters.
There is currently no ETA for when this remake of Silent Hill will come out. My guess is that we’re looking at a 2028 game. After all, Konami announced SH2 Remake in 2022, and we got it in 2024. Since Bloober Team is now busy with Cronos, we can safely assume that this will be a late 2027 or a 2028 game. Or at least that’s my assumption.
Stay tuned for more!

Oh boy, I for one cannot wait to see how they screw up this remake as well.
UE5 strikes again.
"If Silent Hill 2 Remake is anything to go by, we should expect a faithful remake to the original game."
John have such a liberal definition of faithful that i feel sorry for the women in his life, if he have any, lmao.
In any case, i tried playing the "reimagined" Silent Hill Shattered Memories and i didn't enjoy that much.

lmfao
As a big fan of the original SH2, i was very impressed by the remake, it was way better than i heard, i'm glad KONAMI chose Blooper Team once again for SH1
It was decent, tough i ditched the game in the prison level because of horrible peformance on my rig, maybe i should finish the game now that i have a slightly better hardware. I feel sorry for the people trying to get all endings, platinum or whatever, the game overstays it's welcome.
as a big hater of the original, i dont care about the remake much, but the game is much longer than the original and has too much combat. The game is not resident evil.
That's the case for most people here, no one played the original, but everyone has an opinion on this remake, it's either complaining about the stutters (which i agree with) or the characters that aren't p*rn enough, or simply why remaking a boring game…
Too much combat yes totally, to its defense i'll say that at least it's not as janky as it was in 2002, but still it was made this way because these days every game where you don't shoot stuff for 15h straight is called a walking simulator, i don't blame them, every bad thing that happens to this industry happens for a reason, the industry is just responding to the market and the market is dumb
It's like the Resident Remakes, an inferior version that lacks atmosphere and grit.
Umm, me thinks you didn't play the game. It's got atmosphere out the wazoo. It gets more and oppressive as the game progresses
I never played SH or SH2 prior to the remake and I really enjoyed it. There may be more combat in this one than the original but I think it's pretty well done. Has a good balance of being better than in the older games (I did play SH3) while also not becoming too easy. A bit of challenge but not frustrating like it could be in older games. Loved the atmosphere, characters were interesting. There was some stutter throughout but wasn't game breaking. Hopefully they'll be on one of the newer UE builds to help alleviate that. I believe SH2 remake was on 5.1 which was definitely a problematic build. Looking forward to this remake
Big BrUH! moment
Hell yeah. Cant find any better, as they proved everyone wrong!
Cant wait!
no they didn't
Same here, loved this remake! This and RE2 Remake were like a dream to me!
Why? Why bloober again? Konami learned nothing from Silent Hill 2 remake blunder. Why not just port the original classic on PC? Classics are trending these days and people enjoy it.
the remake sold well. This is why and poland is cheap.
"why not just port the original on pc?"
Someone did port it, this is how i played for the first time.
Seriously, there's a pc port ? Can you please share a link ?
Just google 'silent hill unofficial port'
I did. There's some kind of remaster in unreal engine that pops up. But no unofficial original pc port. If there's any specific name for it like some other unofficial ports, that'd be easy to find
Take a look at this amazing post https://www.reddit.com/r/silenthill/comments/y9j88e/_/ that's how I played them
Nice one, thanks. But like I said duckstation perfectly emulates SH1, and 2,3,4 are already better on PC with mods. But a proper PC port for Silent Hill 1 would break the ice and open new options with texture mods and stuff natively on pc. It's also most wishlisted on GOG.

He was talking about the unofficial Silent Hill 1 port, not the SH2 mod.
Oye, we're talking about Silent Hill 1 friend. That's Enhanced edition for SH2. SH1 never got a pc port. Neither official nor unofficial. It's only playable via duckstation. Anyone else claiming is wrong.
My bad.
No worries! my man. You're cool
Of course they learned that remakes are profitable and are gonna remake their entire rooster of classics to be Last of Us clones.
Huh? 2m copies, including offer discount sales, is considered successful for Konami ? Not to mention the animation bugs, stutters and other glitches of the game that were never fixed. Still bloober get to ruin another title. Man I lost hope for this franchise.
"If Silent Hill 2 Remake is anything to go by, we should expect a faithful remake to the original game. In other words, the puzzles will remain the same. "
did you even play silent hill 2 remake? It has new puzzles and the game is 3 times as long as the original.
I have not played the Silent Hill 2 Remake yet.
Play Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition if you haven't already. The team behind the mod did a phenomenal job.
Care to share a more direct link to that?
Cheers
I'd share links but they'd get held up in disqus purgatory until John approves them. You can just search "Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition" and the first link will very likely be the page for the mod itself. Head to the download page once you're there.
You'll also need the PC version of Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut. Since it's abandonware, you can find it on most abandonware sites, or on archive dot org.
For installing, it's best you check guides on youtube that'll walk you through it step by step. There are instructions on the Enhanced Edition mod page too, so be sure to take your time and follow them correctly.
Thank you very much, mate!
You're welcome. Be sure to play around with the settings the mod has as well, especially for the controls. There's an option in there that makes the controls less tanky if you're not into how traditional survivor horror games control.
You’re da real MVP!
Great, they can ruin this one too.
Oh great, another Stuttering Hill.
"I just hope that this game won’t suffer from all the stutters"
hope harder
Bloober sucks at optimization. Another crappy runing remake coming.
f*ckN Awesome!
Oh noes, not the bloobertards again!
*hoping intensifies*
