Silent Hill 2 Remake Studio Now Remaking The Original Game

Konami has confirmed that Bloober Team is developing a new version of the survival horror classic

Soon we shall return to the foggy and creepy streets of Silent Hill as Konami has confirmed that a remake of the original PlayStation-era horror game is in development.

On June 12, during Konami’s Press Start Live event, the publisher announced that Bloober Team, the studio behind 2024’s excellent Silent Hill 2 remake, is now working its magic on a remake of the original Silent Hill, a game first released over 25 years ago.

The official Silent Hill Twitter account just tweeted out a teaser with a cryptic message and the original game’s music. However, the franchise’s Japanese account shared a bit more info on the project and 100 percent confirmed that, yes, Bloober is remaking the OG Silent Hill.

ā€œSilent Hill Remake in Development. We are working with Bloober Team on a remake of Silent Hill, originally released on PlayStation in 1999. Please watch the video with audio. Stay tuned for more details in future updates,ā€ posted Konami, as translated by Google.

And…that’s all we know right now. There’s no release date yet, not even a hint was given by Konami. That makes sense as the game is likely very early in development, so perhaps don’t expect this one for a few years.

Still, Silent Hill fans likely don’t mind waiting a bit for a Bloober remake. The studio’s Silent Hill 2 recreation was released to near-universal praise from critics and fans, and went on to sell a ton of copies for Konami.

Meanwhile, the Silent Hill fanbase is finally eating well after years and years of neglect: Last year we had that release of Silent Hill 2 remake, and this September sees the release of the brand new entry in the series, Silent Hill F. There’s also Annapurna Interactive’s Silent Hill Townfall in development, too. And now a full-on remake of the OG game that started it all. The next few years are going to be good for Silent Hill fans. Honestly, they deserve it.
