Silent Hill 2 Remake Finally Gets a Massive Update, Gearing Up for a Showcase Soon?

Konami has just unveiled its long-awaited surprise for horror gaming fans. For over a year now, the Silent Hill 2 remake has remained under the sheets, making the horror fans frustrated. Well, it’s not too late to celebrate Halloween because an imminent official announcement for the Silent Hill 2 Remake is confirmed! 

From Alan Wake 2 to Resident Evil 4 Remake, it has been a great year for horror gaming fans. Of course, the unveiling of Konami’s remake was the only missing piece. Well, not anymore! Ever since Konami announced a remake of the classic Silent Hill 2, fans have been looking forward to experiencing the revival of one of the finest horror creations in the gaming industry to date. And finally, the countdown to the Remake’s first glimpse has just officially begun.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is available for pre-orders

The Silent Hill 2 Remake launching as a PlayStation 5 exclusive has gone live for pre-orders on various platforms. Although there had been a lot of speculations and rumors about a major update on the Konami project being just around the corner, this has turned out to be a pleasant surprise for all the horror fanatics.

As the game goes live for pre-orders, it has also invited a lot of theories on Konami’s next plan of action. Obviously, the question is, when are the fans getting the first glimpse of the remake?

Apparently, there’s a strong possibility of the makers’ planning the first big sneak peek into the remake at the Games Awards. However, the community wouldn’t mind a special PlayStation Showcase either. 

Comparing the highly-anticipated project with recent competition

The first direct comparison that Konami’s remake would face has to be with Capcom’s celebrated releases of Resident Evil 4 Remake. Quite similar to the approach of Konami, Capcom visioned to bank on the vintage classic that had remained a pioneer of immersive horror experience. Although Silent Hill 2 is considered the best of the franchise, it’s not going to be an easy task to impress gamers. Capcom’s Remake was able to sell 3 million units in just a handful of days and went on to achieve 5 million sales in a record-breaking time for the remake label. Moreover, the remake helped Capcom reach its highest-ever Tokyo Stock Exchange share price. It is important to note that, unlike the Silent Hill franchise, the Resident Evil series had been active in the industry constantly before the remake launch. 

For most horror fans, Silent Hill 2 would be a more preferred choice than Resident Evil 4 as a source. Thus, the projections around the remake business are high but so are the expectations. Also, the reception of Alan Wake sequel only raises the standards of what the fans desire from the experience.

The recent developments suggest a showcase will be happening anytime soon and certainly the expectations are going to be sky-high. But can the remake match up to the success of Alan Wake 2 and Resident Evil 4, let’s wait and see.

The pre-orders have just re-ignited all the excitement surrounding the Remake. It will be interesting to see what new Konami has to offer with the upcoming giant when it releases next year. Let us know your expectations from the remake in the chat box below.
