It's tough to get a read on the current state of the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, which is being developed by Bloober Team, published by Konami, and supposedly launching later this year. Surfacing at Sony's recent State of Play showcase, long-suffering fans were subjected to a combat trailer which seemed out of touch with the series's more cerebral roots.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno announced some good news for fans anticipating the Silent Hill 2 remake, stating a release date will be announced soon. There have been a number of rumors surrounding Silent Hill 2, with gamers being given possible release windows of Bloober Team's upcoming classic Konami horror game remake. Many of them have stated that Silent Hill 2 will likely be released sometime this year, which may appear to be the case if Babieno is to be believed.

When are we finally going to get a release date for the Silent Hill 2 remake? The game is widely expected to launch sometime in 2024, but PR from Konami has been spotty at best. We got a somewhat-questionable trailer back in February (that even developer Bloober Team criticized as not representative of the final game) and as we head deeper into the year, there’s still a lot to be nailed down. The game’s been rated by the ESRB and there are rumors it may pop up at a PlayStation Showcase next month, but Konami themselves have remained silent.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno has provided an update on Silent Hill 2 in an IR/conference following the group’s consolidated annual report for 2023 (via MauroNL on Twitter). He noted that the team is “in the final stages of work” on the remake, and “We expect that a release date and platforms on which the game will appear will be revealed soon.”

KONAMI has remained silent about the release date of the Silent Hill 2 remake. However, several clues point to an inbound announcement.

Konami has yet to officially announce a release date for the Bloober Team-developed Silent Hill 2 remake, though PlayStation did suggest earlier in the year that the game would be out sometime in 2024. As such, when a release date or window for the game remained elusive even when a new trailer was shown off last month, questions were raised once again about how far away from launch the game is.

Without so much as a release date, the remake is already marred by controversy — and as it turns out, even the developers agree. The remake, developed by Bloober Team, is part of a wider attempt by publisher Konami to revive the defunct franchise. It follows the disastrous release of and the half-decent preview provided by . The latest trailer for the remake, released as part of January 2024's PlayStation State of Play, was immediately lambasted on release for failing to understand why people loved the original .

The Silent Hill 2 remake's State of Play combat trailer doesn't give a full and proper representation of the game, Bloober Team's president Piotr Babieno has observed in an apparent swipe at publisher Konami, who Babieno portrays as responsible for the upcoming horror game's marketing. If you missed it, the trailer in question focuses on the "modernised" combat. It shows alleged "everyman" protagonist James Sunderland getting all Gears of Warry with some maggoty marionettes and rancid demon nurses.

The president of Bloober Team says Konami‘s latest trailer for Silent Hill 2 is not an accurate representation of the game his studio is working on.

Bloober Team’s president is unhappy with the latest Silent Hill 2 remake trailer, saying it’s not an accurate representation of the game being made at the Polish studio.

Bloober Team's CEO has said he understands the critism around the recent Silent Hill 2 Remake trailer, which didn't «capture the spirit of the game».

The president of Bloober Team, the Polish developer behind the upcoming and long-awaited Silent Hill 2 remake, has stated that the recent combat trailer was handled by Konami. The video in question debuted during the January 31 PlayStation State of Play showcase and represented the first tangible gameplay footage of the Silent Hill 2 remake that fans have been clamoring for.

The CEO of Polish developer Bloober Team, Piotr Babieno, has placed the blame for last month's poorly-received trailer for its Silent Hill 2 remake on publisher Konami.

It sounds like Bloober Team and Konami’s relationship is under further strain after an interview emerged in which the developer of the Silent Hill 2 remake pointed the finger at its own publisher for a recently released and divisive gameplay trailer.

Silent Hill had a strong presence at Sony’s last State of Play, from the stealth release of Silent Hill: The Short Message to a new trailer for Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2. While the former crossed two million downloads despite mixed reviews, the latter also garnered its share of mixed responses. You can check out our thoughts here.

Last week, PlayStation put on its first State of Play showcase of the year, giving us a better look at a handful of games coming out in the next 12 months. One of these titles was Silent Hill 2 Remake, and while it was nice to get some gameplay footage for the first time, a lot of fans of the original game descended upon the trailer to criticize its heavy use of combat, something which isn't particularly associated with the Silent Hill series.

When it was unveiled that Silent Hill would have a resurgence, fans of the franchise were likely hesitant. Several modern attempts at the franchise didn’t quite yet the strides that the original Team Silent was able to provide. However, there was also the confirmation that the new selection of games included Silent Hill 2, a remake from Bloober Team. 

Konami has handed the keys to one of their most beloved games ever, Silent Hill 2, to Polish developer Bloober Team, which you’d think would indicate the two companies have a close, trusting relationship! Unfortunately, that… doesn’t seem to be the case. Bloober Team has made a number of pointed comments about Konami’s promotion of their Silent Hill 2 remake (or lack thereof) and now they’ve made their sharpest comments yet, outright criticizing the trailer shown during Sony’s most recent State of Play.

Though we finally got another look at Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2 at Sony’s State of Play presentation a couple of weeks ago, we still don’t know when the game will be coming out. PlayStation seemed to confirm the survival horror remake for a 2024 release earlier this year, but with Konami still not having officially given the game a launch window, questions still remain about when the publisher plans to release it.

Bloober Team's CEO, Piotr Babieno, has confirmed that news on the long-awaited Silent Hill 2 remake is expected to start being shared by Konami "very soon".
