Today’s PlayStation State of Play (May 30, 2024) has been a rather fruitful one, and for those who are anything like me – a complete nut for anything and everything Silent Hill – there’s good (or bad) news. Konami’s attempt at a grand Silent Hill reboot is continuing to come to fruition, with the Silent Hill 2 remake finally being given a release date of October 8.
While that isn’t the September 24 release date I desperately hoped for, as a sucker for reboots/remakes/sequels releasing on game anniversaries (Silent Hill 2 first released on September 24, 2001), I’m glad that we’ll be seeing this game in the coming months. While I’m not entirely sure on how I expect the game will be given the recent trailers and teasers we’ve seen from Konami (that combat one didn’t give us much hope, really), and fresh developer, Bloober Team, the latest trailer to be showcased gives me some hope that maybe, just maybe, this remake could be exactly what Silent Hill fans needed.
It’s no secret that there’s a huge distrust from fans when it comes to Konami handling its legacy IPs, but with the latest trailer showing off [X] I have hope that – much like Resident Evil 4’s remake – this remake can perhaps provide fans a new, modern experience of the psychological horror title. God knows it’s what Silent Hill fans need; a good game to put the series back on the map again, or a middling game that finally gives us the closure we all need. Who knows how it’ll all pan out, but we’ll have a much better idea once that release date of October 8 rolls around. What are you expecting?
