Konami is celebrating the resounding success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which has surpassed the 2 million sales mark. Developed by Bloober Team, the game was released on October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. Although there's no news yet on a version for Xbox Series X and S, the game quickly achieved one million sales just days after its launch. This rapid sales performance positions Silent Hill 2 as potentially the fastest-selling entry in the Silent Hill series, though Konami has not officially confirmed this milestone.
Since its debut, Silent Hill 2 has garnered widespread acclaim, earning numerous perfect review scores and multiple awards and nominations. This has solidified its status as a timeless classic in the horror video game genre. In our review, IGN awarded the Silent Hill 2 remake an 8/10, praising it as "a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."
The success of the Silent Hill 2 remake may encourage Konami to further expand the franchise. The company is already working on Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall, and there's potential for more remakes of past Silent Hill games. Additionally, a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 is in the works.
On the PC side, modders are making significant enhancements to the Silent Hill 2 remake, including removing hair sheen, altering the iconic fog, and even transforming the game into a more cheerful setting called Sunny Hills.
