The development of the Silent Hill 2 remake looks right on track as new details emerge about its ESRB rating. From what fans have come to expect of the horror franchise over the decades, the rating for Silent Hill 2 remake seems very on point.
The ESRB rating lets potential buyers know what age groups the content of a game is suitable for. This particular rating is used in the North America region, and other regions of the world have their own regulatory board. Notably, the age rating for Silent Hill 2 remake's South Korea launch came to the fore after its GRAC rating was revealed a few weeks earlier. With the game's production moving forward, it has now also received a rating for the North American market.
The remake of 2001's Silent Hill 2 has officially received an «M for Mature» rating, as per the official ESRB website. Additionally, ESRB for the game include «Blood and Gore, Language, Sexual Themes, Violence.» Taking a look at the rating summary, players will find that Silent Hill 2 remake is being described as a horror-adventure game that features «realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects.»
Further, the ratings website reveals the presence of «large bloodstains» and «intestines/organs on walls, floors, and surrounding bodies» in certain game levels. On top of that, the game has been confirmed to have violent cutscenes depicting impalement, death by asphyxiation, and «body parts sewn together.» Silent Hill 2 remake apparently also has a variety of sexual or suggestive material, ranging from dialogus to in-game character models. Keeping in mind the original Silent Hill 2 — one of the most highly rated horror games of its time — was also gruesome and explicit, this description should ensure fans that they will be getting a familiar Silent Hill experience.
After a lukewarm reaction to Silent Hill 2 remake's combat trailer, developer Bloober Team has a lot to prove as it dishes out more trailers in the buildup to the game's expected launch this year. Fans who have been eagerly waiting for a new Silent Hill game, ever since the plug was pulled on P.T., are surely hoping that the forthcoming remake does the franchise justice and marks the start of a proper return to form.
