Great news for fans of horror games: the highly anticipated remake of Silent Hill 2 by Konami and Bloober Team is expected to be available on PlayStation Plus this month.
Release Date and Subscription Availability
According to a reliable source known as Billbil-kun on Deallabs, players can look forward to the remake becoming part of the PlayStation Plus Extra games catalog starting Tuesday, October 21. This marks a significant milestone as it aligns with the one-year anniversary of the original launch on PlayStation 5 and PC.
Strengthening Speculations
This upcoming addition to the subscription service may also bolster assertions from another gaming insider, Dusk Golem on X, who recently hinted at an imminent announcement regarding an Xbox version of Silent Hill 2, alongside a PS5 Pro patch.
Critical Reception
Having received immense praise since its release last October, Silent Hill 2 currently boasts Metacritic scores of 87 for PC and 86 for PS5. Reviews have highlighted its success, with one mentioning the remake’s ability to “prove the doubters wrong” and commending it as “a faithful take on a survival horror classic.”
Future Collaborations
Adding to the excitement, earlier this year, the two companies confirmed their continued partnership for a new project—this time focusing on remaking the original Silent Hill game. Bloober Team emphasized in a press release that the collaboration stems from the trust established through the success of Silent Hill 2, which has paved the way for this new endeavor. They noted, “The deal aligns with Bloober Team’s strategic plan to expand its internal development division within a first-party framework.”
