The Silent Hill 2 Remake by Bloober Team has received a rating in Korea, suggesting that a release date announcement is likely to occur soon.
Recent Sony State of Play events saw the release of a new teaser for Silent Hill 2 Remake, which Konami has been promoting heavily. However, not all fans were pleased with the trailer. Now in a recent development, the South Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) labeled Silent Hill 2 as unsuitable for young people, suggesting that the game’s release date may soon be revealed.
The rating application for Silent Hill 2 was submitted on February 29, 2024, and officially granted on March 7, 2024. According to the GRAC website, Silent Hill 2 is described as a “horror adventure game about a man who encounters a woman resembling his deceased wife in a town he remembers.” This aligns with the known plot of the original game, where James Sunderland returns to Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his deceased wife.
The game includes elements of “excessive violence” and “excessive gore” stemming from both attacks and being attacked and it features “depictions of dismemberment, including creatures being torn apart.”
Motoi Okamoto, the Silent Hill series producer at Konami, mentioned last month that the game was in its last phase of development, similar to the remarks made by developer Bloober Team. However, despite nearing its release, there’s uncertainty about whether Silent Hill 2 Remake will meet fan expectations.
The latest trailer, which focused on the combat of Silent Hill 2, received a lukewarm response from Silent Hill fans, and in response to the criticism, Bloober Team actually released a statement expressing their confidence that the finished product will fulfill the aspirations of many.
As of now, Silent Hill 2 Remake lacks an official release date, but it is confirmed to be in development for PlayStation 5 and PC. And if ratings are any indication, we might have a Silent Hill 2 Remake release date announcement soon by the Bloober Team.
