Konami has celebrated the remarkable success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which has surpassed the 2 million sales milestone. Developed by Bloober Team, the game was released on October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. There's no confirmation yet on an Xbox Series X and S version. Just days after its launch, it sold one million copies, potentially setting a record as the fastest-selling Silent Hill game, though Konami has not officially confirmed this achievement.
"Since its release, Silent Hill 2 has received a multitude of accolades, including several 'perfect' review scores, multiple award wins, and nominations, cementing itself as a timeless entry in the horror video game genre," Konami stated.
IGN's review of the Silent Hill 2 remake awarded it an 8/10, stating, "Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."
The sales success of the Silent Hill 2 remake may encourage Konami to further expand the franchise, which has seen increased activity in recent years. Projects such as Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are still in development, and there might be more remakes of past Silent Hill games on the horizon. Additionally, a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 is in the works.
The PC version of the Silent Hill 2 remake has become a canvas for modders, who are creating impressive modifications such as removing hair sheen, the game's iconic fog, and even transforming it into a more cheerful setting called Sunny Hills.
