The announcement of the remake of Silent Hill 2 it was partially ruined by the various rumors that had been circulating online for some time. Rumors that in the end proved to be true: the game is actually under development at Bloober Team (authors, among many games, also of The Medium) and is actually only arriving on PS5 and PC, at least for a year. But now, during an interview that took place during the GPW Innovation, the president of the development team Piotr Babeno has announced a pleasant novelty.
While it is true that the output of the makeovers of Silent Hill 2 is definitely close (at the moment the launch window indicates 2023), it is also true that the game could arrive very soon, perhaps even at the beginning of the year. This is because Babeno's words on the development of the game were very clear: at the moment Bloober is no longer planning anything, but they have entered the polish phase, or cleaning from bugs and glitches of the game. In short, we are in the final stages of development.
As for the release date, Bloober Team said they don't have any kind of say. At the moment the announcement of the release date and its decision concerns only Konami. This is a very normal process: the Polish development team has only been called to work on the game and it is clear that the entire marketing side is of exclusive interest to the publisher, who continues to hold the rights to the series.
As reported at the beginning of the news, the remake of Silent Hill 2 will be available from 2023 and will be a PlayStation console exclusive for at least 12 months. In addition to the game's remake, Konami is working with other partners on several titles in the series, including one set in 60s Japan.
