Silent Hill 2 Release Date “Will be Revealed Soon” According to Blooper CEO

According to Blooper Team CEO Piotr Babieno in a recent conference, the release date for the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake will be revealed “in the coming months”. Additionally, he also stated that the game is in its final stages. “We are in the final stages of work on Silent Hill 2.” He said. “We expect that a release date and platforms on which the game will appear will be revealed soon.” In other news, according to a new screenshot spotted in the Steam backend by SteamDB, Silent Hill 2 remake protagonist James Sunderland may have gotten a new look. The image shows James with a more youthful appearance that’s significantly different from the look we were presented with in the game’s original announcement trailer and images. Silent Hill 2 will launch for PS5, and later for PC.

The remake details via Steam:

Having received a letter from his deceased wife, James heads to where they shared so many memories, in the hope of seeing her one more time: Silent Hill. There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her…

“My name…is Maria,” the woman smiles. Her face, her voice… She’s just like her.

Experience a master-class in psychological survival horror—lauded as the best in the series—on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds.

The game’s ESRB description:

This is a horror adventure game in which players assume the role of a man returning to a mysterious town while being tormented by his past. From a third-person perspective, players explore the town of Silent Hill, interact with characters, and battle humans and creatures (e.g., Pyramid Head, mannequins, monsters). Players use pistols, shotguns, rifles, and knives to kill enemies. Combat is highlighted by realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects. Some environments depict large bloodstains and/or intestines/organs on walls, floors, and surrounding bodies. Cutscenes and illustrations depict further instances of violence and/or blood and gore: characters impaled; a character suffocated to death with a pillow; enemies with body parts sewn together. The game contains some suggestive/sexual material: characters pole-dancing in strip-club settings; posters of women in revealing outfits (e.g., bra and thong, deep cleavage); dialogue alluding to sexuality and/or sexual abuse/misconduct (e.g., “Remember that time in the hotel? You said you took everything. But you forgot that videotape we made”; “Don’t touch me…You’re only after one thing…Or you could just force me, like he always did.”). The word “sh*t” appears in the game.
