Konami Hails Silent Hill 2 Remake After Hitting 2 Million Sales Milestone

Konami is celebrating the phenomenal success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which has already surpassed two million copies sold! Developed by Bloober Team, the remake launched on October 8th, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. Within days, it achieved a remarkable one million sales, potentially making it the fastest-selling Silent Hill game ever, though Konami is yet to officially confirm this record.

Konami praised the game's critical reception, stating, “Since its release, Silent Hill 2 has received a multitude of accolades including several ‘perfect’ review scores, multiple award wins and nominations cementing itself as a timeless entry in the horror video game genre.” IGN awarded the remake an 8/10, describing it as "a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."

This impressive sales figure further fuels speculation about Konami's future plans for the franchise. While Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are still under development, the success of the remake may encourage more remakes of classic Silent Hill titles. Furthermore, a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 is also in the works.

The PC version of the Silent Hill 2 remake is also proving popular with modders, who have already created several interesting modifications, including removing visual elements like hair sheen and fog, and even transforming the game's setting into a sunny, less-ominous location, "Sunny Hills".
