The Silent Hill 2 remake has a release date set for October and fans can watch a 13-minute gameplay video.

Will the new version of Silent Hill 2 be able to live up to the original? Konami gave us a closer look at the upcoming remake, which seems to have taken inspiration from Resident Evil. The company hosted its own showcase after the State of Play presentation by Sony, and it was solely focused on the Silent Hill 2 remake. Unfortunately, there was no mention of other projects like Silent Hill Townfall or Silent Hill.

The showcase featured over 13 minutes of gameplay from the remake, which is set to be released on PlayStation 5 and Steam on October 8. We got to see James Sunderland, the protagonist, wandering the eerie streets of Silent Hill before the footage cut to a section from the Brookhaven Hospital. With a new over-the-shoulder perspective and revamped combat mechanics, the game now bears a striking resemblance to Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake. However, opinions may vary on whether this is a positive or a negative thing.

The remake features new voice actors for the lead characters, with Luke Roberts and Salóme Gunnarsdóttir playing James and Maria respectively. The biggest question on everyone's mind is whether the game will be able to recreate the unsettling atmosphere and deep narrative of the original, which is considered one of the best horror games of all time.

During the showcase, Konami also announced a deluxe edition for the remake, which includes a digital artbook, a digital soundtrack featuring tracks by the original composer Akira Yamaoka, and an in-game Pyramid Head pizza box mask. Pre-ordering the deluxe edition will give players early access to the game, as well as two additional in-game cosmetics – a Mira the Dog mask and a Robbie the Rabbit mask. These items are also available with pre-orders of the standard edition.
