Konami Celebrates Silent Hill 2 Remake Hitting 2 Million Sales

Konami celebrates the resounding success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which has impressively surpassed the 2 million sales mark. Developed by Bloober Team, the game was launched on October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. Although there's no confirmation yet on an Xbox Series X and S version, the game quickly achieved a significant milestone by selling one million copies in just a few days. This rapid sales pace suggests it might be the fastest-selling entry in the Silent Hill series, though Konami has not officially confirmed this record.

"Since its release, Silent Hill 2 has garnered numerous accolades, including several 'perfect' review scores and multiple award wins and nominations, firmly establishing it as a timeless classic in the horror video game genre," Konami stated.

IGN's review of the Silent Hill 2 remake awarded it an 8/10, praising it as "a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."

The overwhelming success of the Silent Hill 2 remake is likely to fuel Konami's ambitions for the franchise. In recent years, the company has intensified its efforts, with projects like Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall still in development. Additionally, there are plans for a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2, further expanding the series' reach.

The PC community has also embraced the Silent Hill 2 remake, with modders creating notable modifications, such as removing hair sheen, eliminating the game's iconic fog, and even transforming it into a more cheerful setting called Sunny Hills.
