Bloober Team’sSilent Hill 2remake has received a brand new trailer, which is missing the piece of information that fans have been arguably most keen to find out - the release date.
Ever since theSilent Hill 2remake was unveiled in October 2022, details have been rather light on the ground. Late last November, Bloober reassured fans thatproduction was “progressing smoothly”and “in accordance with our schedule,” but asked fans for “a bit more patience” when it came to revealing more information. Well, we finally have some - during the PlayStationState of Playevent yesterday (January 31), new in-game footage was shown off, with a significant focus on combat. You can take a lookbelow.
In the footage, we can see protagonist James Sunderland thwacking baddies with wooden planks, shooting at foes, and struggling up close and personal with particularly menacing enemies. As you’d expect, the footage also gives glimpses at more of the game’s environments, too.
As mentioned at the top of this article, though,Silent Hillfans still haven’t been given any indication as to when they can expect the remake to be released. However, they didn’t leave the State of Play empty-handed - Konami also announced a brand new short-form game titledSilent Hill: The Short Message, which is free to download and play onPlayStation 5right now. It’s said to be a more “modernSilent Hill” with contemporary problems, specifically focusing on “how modern youth communicate online and through phones” and the impact of hate on social media.
The Short Messageaside, fans will just have to watch this space for more news onSilent Hill 2, which will hopefully live up to the expectations of nostalgic players. Rest assured, though, that Konami previously confirmed that a Best Buy listing, which suggested the remake would include a Pyramid Head origin story, was inaccurate. In a statement sent to TechRadar Gaming at the time, Konami confirmed that“Best Buy had the incorrect information included in the listingand that the page has been updated correctly.”
