Konami wrapped up its Silent Hill Transmission earlier today, dropping several high-profile announcements on games and other projects for the franchise. Well, I would say it “wrapped up,” but by that I would mean it dropped the whole showcase right out the gate. All 48 minutes of it. Whoops.

Well, today we got both confirmed. A remake of Silent Hill 2 is indeed in development, and Bloober has taken the lead. The game is being built using Unreal Engine 5, and it looks just lovely. And creepy. Check out the trailer below:

Producer of the movie, Victor Hadida, says it will be “very true to the original game,” boasting the psychological horror theme. The first movie wasn’t terrible, to be fair. I’m looking forward to seeing how this next one holds up.
