Konami and Bloober Team have plenty of reason to be happy coming into 2025. They went hard to the paint on a remake of Silent Hill 2 that ended up winning the hearts of fans and critics alike. And it has paid off as well. According to Konami, Silent Hill 2 has officially crossed the 2 million mark on units sold.

Konami shared Silent Hill 2’s newest milestone alongside an accolades trailer posted on the game’s channel this week. The trailer showcases a wealth of critical praise for Silent Hill 2, but it doesn’t overtly share that the game has also sold 2 million copies since it launched back in October. This also comes as Konami has pushed Silent Hill back into the spotlight with a number of projects and experiences, of which the remake was a centerpiece.

We were among those that highly enjoyed the Silent Hill 2 remake. It brings the horror elements of the game back in fantastic fashion and refines them with a splash of Bloober Team’s mastery over environmental design and atmospheric gameplay. When the dust settled in 2024, it was our favorite Horror Game of 2024, Best Remake of 2024, and #9 on our Top 24 Games of 2024.

Whatever happens next, Bloober Team did their job with the Silent Hill 2 remake and they did it well. Stay tuned as we watch for what comes next on the Silent Hill series topic.

        I'm so happy for them. Bloober Team caught so much sh** when they genuinely have had some of the best environment and atmosphere skills in game design for a pretty long time. They just needed a large scale chance to prove it. Glad they did.

        I'll grab this on a sale sometime. I had my doubts but I'll give it a shot

          I was nervous but I think they did a good job. The sound design is great and they added a decent amount to the game without changing it in ways I wouldn't like for the most part.

            One hundo. I went through the original game and got every ending by the time I was completely done. Still have my original PS2 case, booklet, and disc. I'm doing the same with the remake. It's worth the time to me.

            I have played most of their games. Observer was good except the movement speed... to damn slow

      That sounds like a lot for a remake!
      Hell, that just sounds like a lot.

        Especially since it’s PS5 only on console for a year.
