Fans express concern over the lack of communication from Konami regarding the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake. In response, the game’s development studio, Bloober Team, takes to social media to call out Konami’s silence.
The Silent Hill franchise has faced uncertainty in the past, with the cancellation of Hideo Kojima’s Silent Hills and the removal of its playable teaser from the PlayStation Store. However, on October 19, 2022, fans were treated to Silent Hill Transmission, which unveiled several new projects in the franchise.
One of the most exciting announcements was the Silent Hill 2 remake, a modernized version of the beloved psychological horror game. The announcement was accompanied by a high-fidelity trailer showcasing iconic cutscenes, receiving praise for capturing the essence of the original title.
Despite the initial excitement, Konami has remained tight-lipped about the game’s development for over a year, leading to concerns among fans that the project may have been abandoned. Bloober Team has been providing updates on social media, reassuring followers that the Silent Hill 2 remake is still in progress.
However, on November 21, Bloober Team surprised fans with a tweet criticizing Konami for their lack of transparency, stating that communication is an essential part of the publisher’s responsibilities. This response has garnered mixed reactions, with some appreciating the honesty while others find it unprofessional.
Recognizing the potential negative impact of online drama on the project, Bloober Team released an official statement on November 26, confirming their commitment to delivering a high-quality Silent Hill 2 remake. The statement subtly addresses their stance on Konami, expressing hope that once the publisher shares more information, the wait will be worthwhile.
