Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer Asks Players to Give it “a Chance”

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can confidently say that I’ve seen remakes come and go, some good, some bad, but none quite like the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake. With its eerie atmosphere, psychological horror, and haunting storyline, the original game left a lasting impact on me, shaping my love for survival horror games.


The upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 by Bloober Team and Konami has sparked a lot of doubt since it was first announced several years ago. While there have been valid reasons for this skepticism, more recent gameplay demonstrations have given a brighter outlook on the survival horror game. As the release date for Silent Hill 2 approaches, the CEO of Bloober Team, Piotr Babieno, is asking players to give the game a chance.

In a recent conversation with Rolling Stone, Babieno addressed the doubts surrounding the upcoming remake, expressing hope that the quality of Bloober Team’s work will speak for itself.

“He mentioned that while he hopes gamers will trust us, he understands that trust is built by actions, not just words. Therefore, we prefer not to make promises about the game details and instead aim to demonstrate our dedication through our work. Essentially, all we ask is for an opportunity to show what we can do.”

In the process, Babiebo acknowledged that valuable input from the community has played a significant role in refining the game. However, it’s crucial to note that Bloober Team has been careful to stay faithful to their original ideas and artistic choices while incorporating these suggestions.

“Babieno expressed that our goal was to satisfy every fan while staying true to who we are. I truly hope that upon their initial play, players will grasp that the decisions we made were the optimal ones.”

Remarkably, as stated by Motoi Okamoto, the series producer at Konami, it’s thanks to Bloober Team that the upcoming remake has stuck closely to the original. The original game’s staff, who are working on the remake, have advocated for broader and more substantial changes. Learn more about this here.
