Silent Hill fans have experienced longer dry spells in video games. However, like waiting for the bus, several Silent Hill projects arrived at the same time. Silent Hill f interactive series The live-action Silent Hill: Ascension and, most excitingly, the remake of Silent Hill 2. Fans of the series were skeptical about this remake when it was first released. But after only a few lucky people Given the opportunity to preview it and have nothing but good things to say. The excitement for its arrival is palpable with just a few days left until release.
The remake of Silent Hill 2 launches on October 8, 2024 on PS5 and PC. There is currently no Xbox version, but hopefully that will change in the future. Silent Hill 2 will attempt to maintain the survival horror feel created by Resident Evil 4 Remake and Alan Wake 2 in 2023 next, and Konami would be awesome if it played like Resident Evil 4 Remake or received the same critical acclaim as the game. Alan Wake's sequel is widely considered to be the best game from the Silent Hill series, and with very positive reviews. So there is a chance that the remake will work well every time.
After more than a decade since the last game in the series was released, Silent Hill fans are hungry for something new. For some time now, like Resident Evil, Konami has decided to skip the first game in the Silent Hill series and jump straight to the second chapter to begin what could be the first game in the modern remake of the series. Part of this is probably because Silent Hill 2 is considered the best game. But also because the original game was technically remade for the Nintendo Wii in 2009.
It's not too late to pre-order Silent Hill 2 before October 8th.

Because the remake version is digital only. So you don't have to worry about missing anything if you buy a physical copy. Because there aren't any, Robbie's Mask is still a PS5 only, but you'll get early access on either platform for 48 hours if you pre-order the deluxe edition. For the extra $10 you pay, you'll get the art. Digital game books and soundtracks And there's even a pizza box pyramid head mask for James to add to your purchase.
