Silent Hill 2 Remake launches on October 8 this year

Konami revealed in a trailer at the May State of Play showcase that the upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake is launching on PC and PlayStation 5 on October 8 later this year. The horror title, developed by Bloober Team, is a remake of the 2001 survival horror classic. Following the State of Play event, Konami held a separate Transmission livestream where it revealed more story cutscenes and gameplay.

Both trailers show protagonist James Sunderland encountering monsters in addition to Silent Hill’s comparatively more mundane residents, such as Angela. As with the original title, James has to work hard to protect himself from the horrors all around him, as he searches for his allegedly deceased wife Mary, whose letter lured him to the foggy hellhole in the first place.
