Silent Hill 2 Remake Leak Hints at May 2024 Release

Fans have been eagerly awaiting more news about the release date of Bloober Team and Konami's Silent Hill 2 remake for what seems like forever, and the most recent bit of information comes from a potential retail leak.

One Mexican retailer listed the Silent Hill remake as having a 30 May 2024 release date, suggesting that the game could come out in just a little over 2 months. This is sooner than most fans would've expected, but it's still a possibility.

It's unknown whether the release date listed on the website was simply a placeholder, or perhaps listed in error, though it seems strange that the website would choose 30 May as a placeholder. Typically, placeholder release dates are set for the last day of the month, which would've been 31 May. Either way, the release date has since been removed from the page with no word from the retailer.

After a long period of silence, some information about Silent Hill 2's remake has been making its way to the public in the past few months. The news about the Silent Hill 2 remake's possible release date comes just a few months after marketing ramped up, and Konami released a gameplay trailer showing off the remake's combat. Bloober Team criticized that recent gameplay trailer, saying it "didn't reflect the spirit of the game."

After the controversial combat trailer came ratings from Korea's game rating advisory board, suggesting that the Silent Hill 2 remake is ready for a release whenever Konami is ready to release it.

Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake isn't the only Silent Hill game about which fans are eagerly awaiting updates. Also announced are Silent Hill: F, Silent Hill: Townfall, and the ongoing Silent Hill: Ascension, which had so many fans claiming it was written by AI that developers had to deny the accusations. Konami also recently released Silent Hill: The Short Message, taking fans by surprise; it's a free-to-play title only available on the PS5.
