Konami has celebrated the remarkable success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which has surpassed the 2 million sales milestone. Developed by Bloober Team, the game was released on October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. While there's no news yet on an Xbox Series X and S version, the game quickly achieved one million sales just days after its launch, potentially making it the fastest-selling Silent Hill game to date, though Konami has not officially confirmed this record.
"Since its release, Silent Hill 2 has received a multitude of accolades including several 'perfect' review scores, multiple award wins and nominations, cementing itself as a timeless entry in the horror video game genre," Konami stated.
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 is likely to encourage Konami to further expand the franchise. The company has already announced ongoing projects such as Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall, and there's also a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 in the works.
The PC version of the Silent Hill 2 remake has become a playground for modders, who are creating impressive modifications, including removing hair sheen, the game's iconic fog, and even transforming the setting into Sunny Hills.
