Konami's Silent Hill 2 remake and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater could be coming to PlayStation in 2024. That's according to Sony's latest overview of some of the most highly anticipated upcoming PS5 games.

The reimagining of Silent Hill 2 was originally announced at the Silent Hill Transmission event in October 2022. Meanwhile, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was first unveiled at the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase. While MGS Delta is largely an internal Konami project with some outside assistance, the Japanese gaming giant outsourced the SH2 remake to Polish studio Bloober Team, the creator of the Layers of Fear franchise and 2017 psychological horror game Observer. Neither remake has yet been treated to an official release date or window.

There are few feelings better than seeing a beloved franchise make a comeback in the modern gaming landscape.

Nevertheless, it appears that both Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and the Silent Hill 2 remake could be hitting the PS5 before the end of this year. Namely, both titles are mentioned on a newly published PlayStation page providing an overview of the "biggest" games set to reach Sony's latest console in 2024.

Big-Budget Remakes Possibly Coming to PS5 in 2024

As far as the Silent Hill 2 remake is concerned, the notion of that game verging on completion makes sense, not least because Bloober Team just announced an entirely different project in late December. For clarity, the Polish company is a mid-sized studio with approximately 200 employees, according to publicly available LinkedIn data; that headcount combined with Bloober's historical tendency to tackle one project at a time indicates that the studio likely wouldn't be starting a new development effort if the Silent Hill 2 remake wasn't close to going gold.

The possibility of Metal Gear Solid Delta releasing sometime in 2024 is more difficult to assess, as Konami was fairly secretive about that project up until recently. However, it is widely believed that the Snake Eater remake has already been in development no later than the second half of 2021, which is when its existence was first reported on. A late 2024 release hence wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility, as a three-year development cycle would be a fairly standard time frame for producing a modern remake of this sort.

The Silent Hill 2 remake has already been confirmed as a timed PS5 console exclusive that will also be launching on PC. Metal Gear Solid Delta will be more widely available, with Konami previously confirming the Snake Eater remake is planned to simultaneously launch on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
