Experience a master-class in psychological survival horror on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds.

Having received a letter from his deceased wife, James heads to where they shared so many memories, in the hope of seeing her one more time: SILENT HILL.

There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her...

"My name...is Maria," the woman smiles. Her face, her voice... She's just like her.

A remake of the 2001 horror classic, Silent Hill 2 is coming to PS5 and PC, developed by Bloober Team, composer Akira Yamaoka and artist Masahiro Ito, the unsettling town shrouded in the brooding fog will be remade with enhanced visuals, sounds and gameplay. 

Reaching one million sales in its first 3 days, 2 million after 3 months, 5 million milestone last month, Konami is also pleased to announce that the cumulative player count for Silent Hill 2 Remake has surpassed 6 million (as of April 24, 2026, per internal tracking, includes units shipped, store downloads and subscription services).

After reaching 1 million copies sold on its first day, Konami is pleased to announce that Silent Hill f, released on Thursday, September 25, 2025, has surpassed 2 million units in worldwide cumulative shipments (as of April 22, 2026, per internal tracking, total of physical and digital sales).

Additionally, the Silent Hill 2 Remake & Silent Hill f Dual Pack is available today on the PlayStation Store at a 40% discount.

With the possibilities of the Unreal Engine 5, the developer are bringing the foggy, sinister town to life in ways that were impossible up to this point. The game will delight players visually, auditorily, and sensorily.

Some of the Unreal Engine 5 features that really shine are Lumen and Nanite. With them we’re raising the graphics to new, highly-detailed and realistic levels, while turning the game’s signature nerve-racking atmosphere to eleven. Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes. It means that the light interacts with the environment realistically, just like in the real world. The whole game environment is lit more naturally this way. The Nanite technology, on the other hand, is an amazing tool for level designers. With it, they can create incredibly detailed worlds and more realistic environments that look and feel almost lifelike.

It’s not only graphics, though. A lot of Silent Hill’s disturbing atmosphere comes from music and sound design. Thanks to the game’s 3D audio capabilities, players will be able to determine the exact direction where the sound is coming from. The WWise sound engine creates a realistic and believable soundscape that helps players feel like they are truly inside the game.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
