In surprising new statements, studio Bloober Team has confirmed that survival horror game Silent Hill 2 is technically ready, at least.

Peter Papino The studio's CEO stated this via a private meeting via Bankier.pl, and added that this does not mean that the launch will happen soon and that it is up to its partners, referring to both Konami and Sony.

Silent Hill 2 is technically ready, he confirmed. This does not mean that the development of the game is over, but we are close. However, the question of the release schedule is up to our partners; how the promotion will be and when the title will appear is not directly in our hands.

This means that Sony and Konami will be forced to reveal more details about Silent Hill 2 soon. Among those details should be a specific and final release date.

Completion of the technical work on the title means that the game could reach gold status in at least 6 months, with the release date potentially being two months after this date. This means that the game could be ready for release 8 months after the completion of technical development.

When might Sony reveal Silent Hill 2?

For its part, Sony is still keeping quiet not only about the exclusive titles coming from its external partners, but also about the projects of first-party studios that have been working for several years on many projects that are still vague and secretive about them.

Does this mean that the Showcase event, which has been rumored for some time, will become inevitable as it reveals many first-party and third-party titles that are ready for release? There are reports that Sony may hold a big special event in June in conjunction with the E3 show.

Babineaux said in this interview that he aspires to be a high-quality studio equal to the power of Naughty Dog Studio as he seeks to transfer his titles to the silver screen and achieve success, as was the case recently with The Last of Us series.

The studio head also touched on virtual reality, which he believes is the real future of horror games. But he wants to develop a mostly custom title, rather than adding it as a side game mode to his other games.

Silent Hill 2 re-release instead of the first part, the game's producer “Motoi Okamoto”, speaking to the Japanese network IGN previously on this subject, added:

During the series' slump, a lot of indie horror games were released, some of them influenced by Silent Hill titles, so if we're going to revive the game in that environment, we need to rebrand it firmly.

And to enhance it and distinguish it so that it stands out from other horror titles. So when we thought about what Silent Hill's identity was, we came to the conclusion that it provided a true psychological horror experience, and when you ask people what true psychological horror is, they will undoubtedly say Silent Hill 2.

We decided that if the brand identity was to be true psychological horror, we would have to start with Silent Hill 2 and remake it. Of course, some people within the company thought it would be better to start with the first chapter, but I wanted to start with something that symbolized the identity of the series.

In the end, the game's producer added that the game was released on the PlayStation 5 and was not released on the last generation PlayStation 4 because they aim to focus on a device beyond the appearance of the game with the best possible graphics and technologies, without the last generation representing any additional obstacle in the development process of the remake.

Finally, we remind our followers that the developer of Silent Hill 2 Remake has confirmed in the past that all elements of the game will be rebuilt from scratch, including the city and also the characters, taking into account the expressions of fate and the interaction with events and situations.
