Bloober Team has given an update on the progress of the Silent Hill 2 remake production. They mentioned that everything is on track and they just need a little more time before sharing further details.
In a statement, Bloober Team said, "We want to assure everyone that the production is moving forward as planned. We recognize the anticipation from players worldwide and we thank you for your support."
"However, we kindly ask for a bit more patience. Once Konami, as the game's publisher, shares more information, we are confident that the wait will be worthwhile."
It's unclear what prompted Bloober Team to release this statement. The Silent Hill 2 remake was officially revealed back in October 2022, so perhaps Bloober Team and Konami might be announcing a release date soon.
Preorders for the game are already available, despite no official release date announcement. Bloober Team has confirmed that the remake will stay true to the original, with a more conservative approach to changes. The developers have also stated that they are moving away from "walking sim" horror games, indicating that future horror games, starting with the Silent Hill 2 remake, will feature more combat and gameplay mechanics.
The Silent Hill 2 remake is set to be released on PC and PlayStation 5, with the latter being a timed console exclusive. It is expected to become available on other platforms, such as Xbox, after its initial release.
