Prior to the immense success of television shows like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout," many audiences felt that video game adaptations were cursed. There were plenty of quick cash grabs and bizarre attempts at movie adaptations that just didn't work throughout the years, but one secret standout is the 2006 Christophe Gans film "Silent Hill." Based on the Konami video game series of the same name, "Silent Hill" follows a mother (Radha Mitchell) who goes into the uniquely haunted town of Silent Hill to try and rescue her adopted daughter, Heather (Jodelle Ferland). While the film isn't super accurate to the story from the games, it does capture the mood and some of the themes and completely nails the aesthetic, which can be half the battle with video game titles as visually recognizable as "Silent Hill." There's just nothing quite like its grungy industrial meat locker vibe and its delightfully disturbing monsters,...

There was talk that Brotherhood of the Wolf and Silent Hill director Christophe Gans’ new Silent Hill movie Return to Silent Hill, which is said to be “totally independent from the two previous movies,” would be having its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month, but that’s not exactly what happened. What actually happened was that there was a private screening of the film for potential distributors. We don’t know how that went, but we are benefiting from the film’s search for distributors. The first image made its way online a couple weeks ago (that can be seen above), and now a teaser trailer has made its way online. You can check that out right here:

With the recent Silent Hill Transmission unveiling newer things surrounding Silent Hill 2, a wave of cautious optimism is sweeping the fans, hinting at a promising future for the franchise. However, many still find it difficult to adjust to the innovative changes the remake brings to the series’ pivotal entry.
There are many things that the remake is doing right, but there are just as many things that team Bloober needs to iron out or outright change. According to a few fans, one of those primary issues is the game’s combat system.
Silent Hill 2 Fans Are Not Happy With the Remake’s Combat and for an Excellent Reason After the recent livestream, Silent Hill 2‘s combat has drawn much attention from the fan base.

On Thursday, Sony’s State of Play livestream teased out all the company’s gaming plans for the rest of 2024.
It was mostly a letdown.
Outside of a few updates on remakes like Silent Hill 2, remasters like Until Dawn, and a PC port of God of War: Ragnarök, there were only a handful of new games to show off, the biggest of which was Firewalk Studios’ Concord, a new multiplayer shooter whose CGI-only trailer failed to show players much gameplay, leaving audiences mostly confused as to what the game really is.

The Silent Hill 2 remake trailer may have had some questionable elements, but thanks to that, fans now have a satirical spin on the footage. Silent Hill 2 is an extremely iconic game that revolutionized the survival horror genre and has left its mark ever since its release, all the way back in 2001. When fans heard about the remake, expectations were very high. But there’s also a lot of concern about what might change in the process, as is the case sometimes with remakes.
The original game is being remade by Bloober Team, the studio behind Layers of Fear and The Medium, and is set to release sometime in 2024. A combat trailer for the remake was released on February 1, but a new satirical trailer might have stemmed from the official Silent Hill 2 remake trailer.

It appears that Konami will finally provide fans with an update on several Silent Hill projects this Thursday with a new edition of Silent Hill Transmission this Thursday. The streamed event will kick off at 7:00pm Et, with updates on the current projects, a “deeper look” at the upcoming Return to Silent Hill film from Christophe Gans, and new merchandise.
The previous Silent Hill Transmission back in October 2022 brought us the official announcement of the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team, which reposted Konami’s X post for this new edition, so expect news on that front. Silent Hill f developer NeoBards Entertainment studio creative director Al Yang did the same thing, so that’s two follow-ups from last time.
That would leave Annapurna Interactive and No Code Games’ Silent Hill: Townfall as the odd one out, but hopefully we’ll still get an update on that one.

Puppet Combo are once again taking it old-school in more ways than one. Originally released in 2019 on itch.io, the developer has announced that their PS2 Survival Horror-inspired title The Glass Staircase will be headed to Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch on May 24.
Described as “a short-form old-school psychological horror game”, The Glass Staircase takes place in 1922, inside a dilapidated estate converted into an orphanage. Four girls attempt to survive long enough to complete their chores and find a new home. As these things go, unknowable horrors have punctuated the history of the house, and they’re about to learn about them the hard way.
Rather than focusing on grotesque slasher horror, The Glass Staircase is a surreal and atmospheric game, inspired by PS2 survival horror titles like Silent Hill 2 and the GameCube classic Eternal Darkness. Of course, you have to toss in those classic 80s Italian horror movies such as The Beyond,...

With the 20th anniversary of Silent Hill 4: The Room right around the corner, you’d hope that someone would give some love to this divisive entry to the series. Director Nick Merola has done just that. Much like Leigh Thorne and Ruben Abreu’s fan film Silent Hill: Road of Guilt, Merola has created a short film of his own, this time based on Silent Hill 4: The Room. On top of that, Merola has a more ambitious plan: persuading Konami to develop a television series adaptation.
Silent Hill: The Room recreates the unsettling and iconic intro scene of Silent Hill 4: The Room, where Henry Townshend (played by Brian Dole) wakes up to find himself mysteriously locked in his own apartment. Filmed in just a single day in Merola’s own apartment, the crew included extensive attention to detail. Things ranging from the chained door of room 302, to...

Silent Hill 2 is one of the most popular horror titles out there, and since Konami surprised the fans with the remake of the title, fans have been excited about it. The game is in development at Bloober Team and is said to be a faithful recreation of the original title that was released back in 2001.
However, Konami has not given any further details on it, and there is no release date as of now. Despite the lack of official detail, fans have come across a change with the protagonist that makes it seem like there is more work left to be done than anticipated, and they are not happy.

The Esrb recently gave developer Bloober Team’s upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake an “M” Rating. That rating isn’t particularly surprising, nor are many of the specific pieces of in-game content the Esrb cited when explaining their rating. For instance, the governing body noted that Silent Hill 2 contains “realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects” as well as “enemies with body parts sewn together.” In other words, standard Silent Hill 2 stuff.
However, there is one part of the Esrb’s rating that certainly stands out. According to that organization, the Silent Hill 2 remake also features “characters pole-dancing in strip-club settings.”
What makes that warning so strange isn’t the idea that Silent Hill 2 features sexualized content. The base game had plenty of sexualized (often disturbingly sexualized) content, and the Esrb rating references some of that legacy material. No, what’s strange about that particular...

The Silent Hill 2 Remake is on the horizon as fans wait for an official release date. While many are still hoping for a Fall 2024 release window, the possibility of 2025 is still in the air.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (Esrb) recently published the upcoming remake’s rating and it’s what you would expect from the series. Blood, violence, guns, and creatures like Pyramid Head are in the rating summary for Silent Hill 2 Remake. However, one sentence towards the latter half of the summary is tripping up the community.
The game contains some suggestive/sexual material: characters pole-dancing in strip-club settings.
Was this a mistake? Or are Bloober Team and Konami adding pole-dancing into Silent Hill 2 Remake?

Thanks to the Esrb, we’re getting closer to the eventual release of Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2. The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has posted their rating for the upcoming remake, which as you’d expect, gets a Mature rating for “Blood and Gore, Language, Sexual Themes, Violence.”
Spotted by VGChartz, the listing for Silent Hill 2 on the Esrb website gives a summary of the game, as well as detailing what constitutes the game’s M rating. Of note is the description of some of the environments, which “depict large bloodstains and/or intestines/organs on walls, floors, and surrounding bodies.” Silent Hill 2‘s cutscenes also pile on the disturbing stuff, including characters being impaled, a character suffocated to death with a pillow, and enemies with body parts sewn together.

Konami’s Silent Hill 2 was first announced back in October 2022 when the game was said to be under development by Bloober Team. There have been leaks and rumors ever since about the release of the highly anticipated remake but nothing official has surfaced. A fan has now spotted a giant poster put up at Gamestop and now fans are hopeful for an imminent announcement soon.
There have been reports of placeholder empty cases of the game in several stores but this was the first time a giant poster was put up. Some fans are still apprehensive about it and believe it to be a marketing tactic to get more pre-orders in.

It’s been over 22 years since the original Silent Hill 2 was published by Konami, and understandably, for many fans, this is too much time to wait for the remake to finally make its debut this year.
So much so that players are still asking when an exact release date will finally be announced, as there are those in the gaming community who claim that the game is ready, but we are just waiting on Konami to set the terms of when we will see it.

For more than two decades, Silent Hill 2 has been considered one of the scariest games of all time. The game was first released for PlayStation 2, then Xbox and PC, and in 2012, a remastered version was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game’s psychological horror story often makes it hard for one to play it alone and in order to tackle this problem, a gamer has been looking for a companion.

In a Facebook Marketplace ad, a gamer posted an ad looking for someone who will sit with him while he plays Silent Hill 2. The ad was posted on the r/playstation subreddit and fans agree that the game is so scary that looking for a companion for it is completely valid.

PlayStation 5 fans are not very fortunate this year; the crop of exclusives that are coming to this platform will be noticeably thinner in 2024. But the few games that are being released for this platform are incredibly well made. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Silent Hill 2, and this year’s biggest surprise hit, Helldivers 2.
This is a third-person shooter multiplayer game with co-op mechanics. And despite being a game-as-a-service title, it is going strong. It goes beyond its prequel and offers its fans a brand-new experience. But like every live-service game, it has some issues, but its developers were quick to respond to the outcry and have promised a fix.

The combat-heavy trailer for the Silent Hill 2 remake didn’t “capture the spirit of the game,” says Bloober Team boss Piotr Babieno, implying that Konami was responsible.
Unveiled during Sony’s State Of Play online event in January, the latest trailer for Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2 didn’t exactly go down a storm with fans.
Although there were some complaints that the revival of Konami’s much-loved survival horror didn’t look great in the graphics department, the more common gripe was that its seeming focus on punching and shooting flew in the face of the original game’s creeping dread.
“Ah yes, the combat,” one comment read at the time. “That thing that everyone remembers and loves about Silent Hill 2.”
In a somewhat testy response to those criticisms, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno has said that Konami – the game’s publisher – was “entirely responsible for that trailer.

For fifty-nine episodes, Sophie Turner played the role of Sansa Stark on the hit series Game of Thrones. For sixty-two episodes, Kit Harington played the role of Jon Snow on that same show. And now Turner and Harington are set to work together again, as Deadline reports that they have both signed on to star in the Gothic horror film The Dreadful! This film is coming our way from writer/director Natasha Kermani, who has previously directed the thriller Shattered, the sci-fi drama Imitation Girl, and the horror film Lucky, as well as multiple short films and a segment of the horror anthology V/H/S/85.
The Dreadful will be set against the backdrop of the War of the Roses, which took place from 1455 to 1487. The story follows Anne (Turner) and her mother-in-law Morwen, who live a solitary, harsh life on the outskirts of society. But when a man (Harington) from their past returns,...

To no one’s surprise, fans jumped at the chance to return to the series with last week’s release of Silent Hill: The Short Message. The free-to-play game reportedly logged over a million downloads since its launch during the Sony State of Play last Thursday, with Konami taking to X to announce the big news.
Much like the game’s namesake, Konami was short but sweet with their announcement, thanking all those who played the game.
This is certainly welcome news for Konami after the questionable response from fans and critics over last year’s Silent Hill: Ascension, which despite the interesting concept, didn’t quite endear itself to fans looking for a traditional return of the franchise.
Obviously, the next big test will be the long-awaited and anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake that’s currently being developed by Bloober Team. We did get a glimpse at the combat mechanics last week,...

After a couple of delays, Thq’s belated remake of Alone in the Dark is almost upon us and we couldn’t be more hyped. After all, the title is poised to breathe fresh life into what was once recognized as the granddaddy of survival horror (even though it predates that label by a good few years).
You see, despite its far-reaching influence — which can be felt in everything from classic Resident Evil to mainline Silent Hill entries— this IP has been languishing since the turn of the millennium. Owing to a string of increasingly dodgy sequels, very few gamers under the age of thirty are likely to hold the series in high esteem, while its protagonist, Edward Carnby, is hardly as iconic as his nearest counterparts in Leon S. Kennedy or James Sunderland.

Blooper Team showcased the first trailer for their upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake during last night’s State of Play. It’s the first sign of life for the game since it was announced in 2022 and since the developers confirmed no major changes were being made to the narrative in early 2023.
Take a look at the Silent Hill 2 trailer below.
Disappointingly, there’s no release date attached to the trailer. Sony did previously promise that the game would arrive in 2024, but that remains to be seen.
The game will follow in the footsteps of the 2001 original. You will play as James Sunderland, who travels to Silent Hill, looking for his deceased wife Mary after receiving a letter that she is alive.

Disclaimer: Crunchyroll is an independently operated joint venture between U.S.-based Sony Pictures Entertainment and Japan’s Aniplex. Today saw another PlayStation State of Play stream debut, bringing with it around 45 minutes of new and updated game info. Hideo Kojima was on hand for a double whammy—including more on Death Stranding 2 , which now sports the On The Beach subtitle, and a new espionage game called Physint . There's also a new Silent Hill game available to download for free. That's just scratching the surface, so let's take a look at some of the highlights from today's State of Play. Death Stranding 2 On The Beach is due out in 2025, and as usual you should expect more questions than answers in the extensive nine-minute cinematic trailer. If that's not enough Kojima for you, the Metal Gear Solid mastermind is returning to the action-espionage genre with Physint . In two years they'll be...

And no, I’m not talking about congress. I’m talking about some good old-fashioned wear your brown pants to the theater and leave the kids at home (or don’t I don’t judge) , horror flicks.

The new trailer lists off 18 titles for release this year. Alongside both of Konami’s anticipated titles, the trailer also highlights The Last of Us Part II Remastered (January 19th), Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League (due out January 30th), Dragon’s Dogma 2 (March 22), and Supermassive and Behaviour Interactive’s The Casting of Frank Stone.

Bloober hasn’t given many more details on the remake’s progress for a quite a while, with the last real messages being clarifications on comments made by Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno. Coupled with the recent release date shenanigans, fans obviously want an update.
Bloober Team took to X last night with a bit of an update regarding Silent Hill 2, saying that the team is diligently working to “ensure the Silent Hill 2 remake attains the highest quality.” The update went on to say that production is “progressing smoothly” and in line with the developer’s schedule.

Details about Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake have been minimal over the past year, but the developer says “production is progressing smoothly”…
Seemingly making up for lost time, Konami announced a whole wave of new Silent Hill games last year. Among the most anticipated is a remake of Silent Hill 2, which is being handled by Polish developer, Bloober Team.
A year later, and little has been seen from Bloober’s remake, which will revise the 2001 classic of the same name for a new generation of hardware. Perhaps conscious of the radio silence – or maybe somewhat weary of all the messages from fans asking for more information – Bloober Team has taken to Twitter (or X) with an update.

With all of the talk about Silent Hill 2, it’s easy to forget about the other Silent Hill games that were announced by Konami, and even the ones that weren’t officially announced. That latter point, of course, refers to Silent Hill: The Short Message, which when we last heard about it, had its info leaked by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee.
Now it’s the Australian Classification Board (Acb) doing the leaking. Per Video Games Chronicle, in the board’s annual report, alongside rating the game as MA15+ for “Strong suicide themes, horror violence, and coarse language”, the Acb has revealed new information regarding The Short Message.
