Konami has celebrated the triumph of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which has surpassed the impressive milestone of 2 million sales. Developed by Bloober Team, the game was released on October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. Although there's no information yet on an Xbox Series X and S version, the game quickly sold 1 million copies just days after its launch, potentially setting a record as the fastest-selling Silent Hill game ever, though Konami has not officially confirmed this.
Since its release, Silent Hill 2 has garnered numerous accolades, including several perfect review scores and multiple awards and nominations, solidifying its place as a timeless classic in the horror video game genre, according to Konami. IGN's review of the Silent Hill 2 remake awarded it an 8/10, praising it as "a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."
The sales success of the Silent Hill 2 remake might encourage Konami to further develop the franchise, which has seen increased activity in recent years. Projects like Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are still in development, and there's also an upcoming film adaptation of Silent Hill 2. Additionally, the modding community is actively enhancing the Silent Hill 2 remake on PC, with modifications ranging from removing hair sheen and the iconic fog to transforming the game into "Sunny Hills."
