Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer Bloober Signs Deal for Another Game for Konami — Could It Be More Silent Hill?

Bloober Team, fresh off the success of its Silent Hill 2 remake, has announced a new partnership with Konami to develop a game based on one of Konami's intellectual properties. While specifics remain undisclosed, Bloober's horror game expertise and the remake's impressive 2 million sales suggest another Silent Hill title is highly probable. Konami will retain publishing and rights ownership.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno's statement highlights the collaborative success of the Silent Hill 2 remake: its critical acclaim (86/100 Metacritic, 88/100 OpenCritic), numerous awards (including IGN Japan's Game of the Year 2024), and rapid sales (reaching 1 million copies sold within days of its October 8th, 2024 release on PlayStation 5 and PC). Babieno emphasizes the trust built through this collaboration as the foundation for this new project, aligning with Bloober Team's strategic expansion within a first-party framework. He assures fans that the upcoming project will be equally exciting. (Note: An Xbox Series X and S version is yet to be announced).

IGN's review of the Silent Hill 2 remake awarded it an 8/10, praising its ability to effectively recreate the terrifying atmosphere of the original.

The Silent Hill 2 remake's commercial success significantly bolsters Konami's ongoing franchise revitalization.

PC modders are already creatively altering the Silent Hill 2 remake, showcasing its modding potential.

The nature of Bloober Team's new project remains a mystery. It could be a remake of a prior Silent Hill entry or an entirely new game within the franchise.
