Bloober Team Has Good News for Silent Hill 2 Remake Fans

gamerant.com:

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno announced some good news for fans anticipating the Silent Hill 2 remake, stating a release date will be announced soon. There have been a number of rumors surrounding Silent Hill 2, with gamers being given possible release windows of Bloober Team's upcoming classic Konami horror game remake. Many of them have stated that Silent Hill 2 will likely be released sometime this year, which may appear to be the case if Babieno is to be believed.

The Silent Hill 2 remake was first announced back in 2022 as a collaboration between Konami and Bloober Team, with the Polish developer being well-known for horror games like Observer, Layers of Fear, and Blair Witch. The last known official update given by either developer was back in February when Konami producer Motoi Okamoto said that Silent Hill 2 was in the final stages of its development, which is an encouraging sign for its potential release. Babieno has reiterated the same statement, along with providing when fans will hear more about the game's upcoming release.

In a recent investor relations meeting/conference with Bloober Team, Piotr Babieno stated that Silent Hill 2 was in the final stages of development, and on top of that, a release date will be revealed in the near future too. «We are in the final stages of work on Silent Hill 2. We expect that a release date and platforms on which the game will appear will be revealed soon,» said Babieno. The phrasing of this statement is a little bit odd, as the Silent Hill 2 remake has already been announced for PC and PS5. As such, it's possible that Bloober Team may reveal the additional platforms Silent Hill 2 will launch on after its timed exclusivity window is up.

Earlier this month, insiders like Jeff Grubb claimed that a PlayStation Showcase event featuring Silent Hill 2 would be happening sometime in May. He also suggested a potential release window for the remake, stating that it is on track for an end-of-2024 launch on both PS5 and PC.
