But don’t mark your calendars just yet
No doubt, plenty of you horror fans have been anticipating Bloober Team’s upcoming remake ofSilent Hill 2. Some of you will be excited, while some of you may be holding back judgment. In any case, it’s on a lot of people’s lips, and the gamemayhave its release date already.
As spotted by Twitter user ResiEvilCentral, Australian websiteGaming Gorillahas madeSilent Hill 2available for pre-order, at a cost of $89 AUS (about $60 US). However, the most interesting part about this listing is that it says the “expected release date” for the remake down as June 16, 2025.
Now, given that neither Konami nor the developer has said when it’s likely to launch, where Gaming Gorilla got this information is definitely interesting. Last we heard,Bloober Team deniedSH2was ready for release. The fact that bothSteamand thePlayStation Storealso do not list a release date means this could well have been in error.
Silent Hill 2 Remake might have a release date…
🕯️ 29TH SEPTEMBER 🕯️
Placeholder dates for pre-orders with no release dates are usually the 29/30th Dec (the end of the year).

Either that or someone somewhere has access to information the rest of aren’t privy to. As of this moment, there isno official release datefor the game, so it’s entirely likely that this is just a rumor or someone has made a mistake. At the time of writing, the “leaked” release date is still on the retailer’s website. However, it’s best not to get your hopes up until the studio/publisher either confirm or deny these latest developments.
Silent Hillenjoys a pretty solid legacy, though it’s been lying dormant for too long. The second installment, released in 2001, has gone down as one of the most important survival horror games of all time. Given this, it’s not surprising that so many are looking forward to the remake. Whether Bloober Team can pull it off remains to be seen at this stage.
