Silent Hill 2 has been rated by the ESRB.
The Korean rating board recently rated the game, and now the North American rating body, the ESRB has followed suit.
As spotted by Wario64 on X, the game has received a Mature rating.
The description describes some of the game’s content including, “cutscenes and illustrations (depicting) instance of violence and/or blood and gore, characters impaled, a character suffocated to death with a pillow, enemies with body parts sewn together.”
Following a recent trailer for the game, the president of developer Bloober Team claimed that it wasn’t an accurate representation of the game.
In an interview with Polish investor news channel Inwestorzy.tv – the video for which appears to have been taken offline but was spotted and transcribed by Eurogamer Poland – Bloober Team president Piotr Babieno was asked about the reaction to the trailer.
Babieno replied that the latest trailer wasn’t representative of the game Bloober Team is working on, and that he understood the negative comments being directed at the game based on the trailer.
“I wrote those negative comments myself,” Babieno reportedly joked, saying: “In all seriousness, we are not responsible for the marketing side.”
Referring to Konami, he added: “That is entirely the responsibility of our partner. Certainly, this trailer does not reflect the spirit of the game.
“It is not the spirit of either what it used to be or what we are creating now. We are trying to fully reflect this romantic vision about the game, which debuted 22 years ago.
“We think that when players see the real gameplay, the real game, they will judge it in a completely different way.”

It looks like publisher Konami and developer Bloober Team have redesigned the main character in their Silent Hill 2 remake, and fans are taking the news pretty well.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits, the gorgeous action-adventure from developer Ember Lab, looks to be making the leap to Xbox Series X/S, according to a newly spotted rating on the ESRB website.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits looks set to be released for Xbox consoles.
25 years ago, Nintendo began to promote an action-adventure game called Riqa, but that game quickly disappeared from the public eye and vanished into obscurity. But now, the game is back and playable thanks to one of the original devs at the defunct UK developer Bits Studios.
Rockstar has raised GTA+ subscription prices.
Following ratings in South Korea and Australia, Massive Entertainment’s Star Wars Outlaws has been rated in Brazil. With Ubisoft announcing its next showcase for June 10th, it seems more likely than ever that a release date could be announced.
Journalist Jeff Grubb recently claimed that Konami and Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake is going to be showcased at an as-yet-unannounced PlayStation event in May, and another leaker is now corroborating that.
Hollow Knight: Silksong has been classified in South Korea, suggesting news about the game’s release date could be on the way.
Sony is planning a new PlayStation Showcase for next month, according to known insider Jeff Grubb.
The next PlayStation Showcase broadcast could be happening in May 2024 with news about Konami's Silent Hill 2 remake, according to one reputable insider. If the rumor is true, PlayStation fans can expect more details about upcoming PS5 titles at the Showcase as well.
The PS5 remake of Silent Hill 2 has taken one step closer to its reported 2024 release as the ESRB has handed the title a Mature age rating. Generally awarded near the completion of a game's development, the USA firm warns of blood and gore, language, sexual themes, and violence throughout the experience from Bloober Team. A trailer published by Sony at the start of 2024 pegged Silent Hill 2 with a 2024 release window, and this new update could signal that's still on the cards.
