Silent Hill 2 Remake is “in the Final Stages of Development,” Series Producer Says

Red Barrel Games’ The Outlast Trials launches on March 5th for PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One and PS4. Though it entered Steam Early Access in May 2023, it’s been in development for longer – six years, per senior game designer Phillippe Morin.

AI has recently been a hot-button issues, with a lot of legitimate concerns about corporations replacing the artistic efforts and livelihoods of real people with comparatively soulless and low-quality AI content.

Silent Hill fans are finally being treated to new games. It was a long, dormant period where fans were not given anything regarding a substantial new game release.

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.
