Konami has celebrated the resounding success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which has now 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. While there's no news yet on an Xbox Series X and S version, the title quickly sold 1 million copies within days of its launch. This rapid sales pace has positioned Silent Hill 2 remake as a potential record-holder for the fastest-selling game in the Silent Hill series, though Konami has not officially confirmed this achievement.
"Since its release, Silent Hill 2 has garnered numerous accolades, including several 'perfect' review scores, and has won multiple awards and nominations, solidifying its status 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 commercial triumph of the Silent Hill 2 remake is likely to fuel Konami's ambitions for the franchise, which have intensified in recent years. Projects like Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are still in development, and there may be plans to revisit other classic Silent Hill titles with remakes. Additionally, a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 is in the works.
The modding community has also embraced the Silent Hill 2 remake on PC, creating various modifications such as removing the hair sheen, the iconic fog, and even transforming the game into a more cheerful "Sunny Hills" version.
