A new leak states that the Silent Hill 2 remake will be released on September 29, 2023, but fans should take the information with a grain of salt. The release date of this highly influential horror game remake was spotted on a listing made by an Australian retailer.
The Silent Hil 2 remake is one of the most anticipated game releases for horror fans worldwide. Developed by Bloober Team, the Silent Hill 2 remake has become the subject of intense scrutiny ever since it was announced. There's plenty of room for speculation about how the development team will bring the legendary IP from Konami to the latest generation of gaming. However, most developers familiar with the project have stated that Bloober Team will keep the things that made the original game stand out as a psychological horror masterpiece back in its heyday.
Players might not have to wait long to play the Silent Hill 2 remake, as a new release date leak claims that the game will be available on September 29. This release date can be found in the pre-order listing from an Australian retailer, Gorilla Gaming. First spotted by Comicbook, the listing shows the pre-order price of $89 for the PlayStation 5 version of the game, with the release date right below it. Howevere, there is a distinct possibility that the release date is just a placeholder.
The Silent Hill 2 remake is reportedly nearly finished, with the Bloober Team CEO stating that the game's debut and promotion will be handled by Konami and its advertising partners. As such, a September release window might seem plausible. However, no official announcement has been made regarding this release date. Because of this, it's still better to wait for an official confirmation from Konami about the release date of Silent Hill 2.
Regardless, Silent Hill fans are happy to see the franchise return to the spotlight. One of the upcoming projects from the franchise even received praise from the designer of Silent Hill Origins. Konami is trying to bring its IPs back in full force with new ventures that will evolve the franchises further while giving control to third-party developers. If Bloober Team succeeds, perhaps this release will be the first step into a brighter future for Silent Hill and other IPs from the publisher.
Silent Hill 2 is in development for PC and PS5.
