Konami has released the first gameplay trailer for Silent Hill 2 Remake. The publisher has also confirmed that the game is being developed by Bloober Team, and that it will be using Unreal Engine.
Konami has confirmed that the game will be also coming to PC. And, after twelve months, the game will hit other platforms (most likely Xbox Series X). In other words, the game will release simultaneously on PC and PS5.
This first official trailer showcases the game’s graphics. And, as you will see, it looks really incredible.
There is currently no ETA on when Silent Hill 2 Remake will come out.
Enjoy the gameplay trailer and stay tuned for more!

In the end it shows Steam
Ooops you’r right
Cool, another remake for a game that doesn’t need it, a society that is fuelled by nostalgia is doomed and creative bankrupt.
MEMBER? REMEMBER WHEN GAME WHERE GOOD?
I hate member berries.
Easy on the coolaid there old timer. There’s nothing wrong with a remake. You don’t expect all of us to live in the 90s with 8bit graphics now do you?
You will say the same in a decade, keep this stupid loop of consumerism like a drone. This remake doesn’t bring anything of value in the same way RE2 and 3 remakes did, mark my words.
People loved RE2. It delivered a beloved game with a beautiful modern presentation and up to date gameplay. Quit being so crotchety. There are plenty of NEW games being delivered as well. But some people I guess just have to always have something to complain about…
Man if you haven’t figured it by now, this site is full of complainers. They always see the half empty part of the glass. I’m not even going to mention the LGBTQIA lurkers. The minute they see something even remotely queer they’re going to discard the whole AAA title. They’re just nuts.
Juanito you may be onto something but for the time being we gotta do with what we got. These are the times.
Exactly this!
This is the best news ever. Im sure it will be awesome!
I don’t mind it. I never played SH1 or SH2. So I’m happy with remakes of either. I did recently watch a Youtuber trying to play through it and I definitely don’t think it’s aged as well as you may think it has…
I played the PC port of 2 with the fanmade enhancements recently, the game doesn’t need a remake, trust me.
Even 1 under the proper configuration of an emulator is fine. The games never stand out for the gameplay anyways, so enjoy this walking simulator made in 2023 with “nice visuals”, people forgot The medium it seems i can’t blame them
People forgot the medium? I think you’ve forgotten that VIDEO games are a VISUAL medium lol. These types of enhancements are good. Quality of life enhancements are good. Based off of the couple hours of gameplay I watched, I would NOT sit through trying to stumble my way through SH2. I did play SH3 back in the day I remember it being better in the gameplay/pacing categories. But yeah it’s a 20+ year old game. If that doesn’t qualify for a refresh then I dunno what does.
Games is interactive medium, not solely visual medium, its judge by its gameplay, performance and sometimes replayability besides sound and graphics. And I believe what he meant by the medium in the comment you reply is The Medium, another games made by Bloober that known as its unoptimised plus stuttery PC port and 30 FPS PS5/Series X version
Well that makes sense. I didn’t catch he was referring to the game. My point still stands though. Visuals matter. Yes, of course video games are interactive, but so are other types of games out there. The visual nature of video games though, is what makes them so compelling. And when we hit new generations of hardware capabilities I like that certain beloved franchises now get major overhauls. No different to me than when movies get new higher res re-releases when new home video formats release. I know the medium left a bad taste in people’s mouths. I didn’t even play it cuz it looked bad lol. But if you ask me, I’d bet the medium was kinda rushed just because MS needed an Xbox exclusive for the Series X/S launch period. This trailer already looks head and shoulders better than any of the footage I saw from the medium. So I’m cautiously optimistic this will impress
HD upgrades in movies is an equivalent to HD upgrades in video games, not remakes built from the ground up. You’re essentially saying that King Kong (1933) getting a 4K Blu-Ray re-release is no different to this.
Visuals has and will always be a subjective matter based on personal preference. Thankfully, unlike many people it seems, visuals doesn’t make or break a game for me but it does help with immersion depending of how well they execute the art style or aesthetics. Fear Effect is getting a remake and in my opinion it already looks a million times worse than the original on the PS1. The change of gameplay design doesn’t help either. Others have had issues with XIII’s remake, claiming it looks a lot worse despite the upgrade in polycount among other things.
There are games currently in production by smaller indie devs that are trying to replicate the visual and audio design of the PS1 era and they’re getting tons of positive feedback by the community. Games like Compound Fracture, despite how anyone feels about the “outdated” look, is able to provide that unique sense of atmosphere that can only be found from that era thanks to the limitations that they had to work with back then. Even till now some modern games and movies are still attempting to use the old stop motion or pixel art techniques.
Remakes of old classics like SH and RE will certainly raise the bar in what was once impossible to achieve but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be a better game because of that. I’ve mentioned this before to somebody else. It’ll just be a completely different experience, which isn’t a bad thing. People will compare the two SH games regardless but it’ll be incomparable since neither will offer the same kind of experience. All the better if you ask me.
And just by looking at the reviews of King Kong from 1933 I’m seeing a lot of folks rating it 9 or 10 and some claiming it’s better than Peter Jackson’s version, or one person claiming that we’re “genetically programmed” to dismiss the movie or any movie from that era. That’s quite a profound statement which can easily be applied to how the gaming industry and community feel towards classic games. A sad state of affairs but it is what it is.
Can be better if they started with the 1st. Silent Hill 2 + The Enhanced Edition looks pretty good, and the same thing goes with Dead Space + ViLe’s Ultimate Vision it Looks sick, The industry now days is very lazy, boring, and nonsensical with zero creativity.
Bloober doesnt make games they make movies, so its fitting they chose them for silent hill 2.
Yes silent hill 1 was better and 2 is too linear and boring. Sue me fanboys.
WOW friKKing INSANE!
So Happy I could cry..This is the day to be rembered.. All Love – Silent Hill is back with a bang. New games and a movie also..Cant be any better then this!
I mean… were the Bloober Team going for the Leon look here? ?
It looks a little meh, honestly, and it also look like the BT definitely reused some assets/ideas from The Medium here, facial MoCap definitely needs work, animation looks wonky, etc.
So far, it looks like a remaster, not a remake, just with improved/added shadows and physics, etc.
This title still needs A LOT of work!
I know all White people look the same to you, but you are dead wrong here. Remake Leon looks more similar to the original SH2 james if anything.
Clearly you must have missed ~2:12 or you’ve watched it not on a 8K or even 4K panel. ?
This bloober team vibe feels more like some fans make their own X game remake from PS1 and PS2 era in UE and share video of look how gorgeous it is, but when we actually play it its just heavy, stuttery , unoptimised mess
I don’t like this at all.
They changed the legendary voice acting and soundtrack from the original for this crap.
Go f@ck yourself bloober Team.
Also why SH2 and not 1 ?
Looks boring.
RE:2 Remake looks better.
which unreal engine?
graphics look sh*t
And THIS is what they telling us we need a 2080 to run? A game where you have 5 meters of draw distance and the rest is fog? The Quarry looks just like this and run smooth on 10 year old cards.
Here’s hoping Hellblade 2 or Gears 6 can properly leverage Unreal 5 and not have horrendous performance / system requirements.
why would you have hope for these 2 games?
Coalition does a decent job with UE … and coalition is helping out other studios as well, including Ninja Theory
Hellblade 2 can go either way
Gears 6 I have hope bacuze Gears 4, 5 and Tactics were masters of visuals and optimization.
Your article helped me a lot, is there any more related content? Thanks!
