We’ve seen very little of Bloober Team’s upcomingSilent Hill 2remake so far, as publisher Konami appears to be keeping a tight lid on all of the Silent Hill projects it announced last year. However, the game’s release date may have slipped through the cracks, as an online listing from an Australian video game store may have revealed that we’ll be seeing James Sunderland’s return later this year.
First spotted by a user onResetEra(thanksInsiderGaming), a listing recently put up by GorillaGaming suggests that the Silent Hill 2 remake has an expected release date of September 29 later this year. While this is currently unconfirmed, the release date does make a little bit of sense as it falls on a Friday, a common day of the week for big titles to launch on. The store page iscurrently still upfor you to take a look at, though that could easily change if the date is legitimate.

Of course, it’s worth taking that release date with a pinch of salt, especially with a storefront as relatively obscure as GorillaGaming, but this does back up recent comments made by reputable Silent Hill insider Dusk Golem. They recently stated that they believethree upcoming Silent Hill titles are all going to get trailers pretty soon, hinting at either another big Silent Hill showcase like the one the company put on last year, or potentially another PlayStation Showcase, as the Silent Hill 2 remake is going to be a timed PS5 exclusive.
It’s pretty difficult to imagine another PlayStation Showcase taking place this year though, and you’d have thought the game would’ve shown up at the last one considering how disappointing it was for a lot of PlayStation fans. It’s definitely a release date to be very skeptical of, especially since a lot of online retailers like to use rumors as placeholder dates to try and snag some early pre-orders, so keep that in mind and maybe wait for an official announcement before you go running for your wallet.
As for the other Silent Hill games currently in development, Konamishadow dropped a trailer for Silent Hill: Ascension last month, the “interactive experience” in which players watch episodic content and then play minigames for points that will allow them to vote for actions the characters take. We’ve yet to hear more on either Silent Hill: f or Silent Hill: Townfall since their announcements last October, though it seems like trailers could drop pretty soon. In any case, it’s a pretty good time to be a Silent Hill fan right now.
