Bloober's Silent Hill 2 remake gets fresh airing in combat-focused trailer

It’s been a good long while since we’ve seen anything concrete from Konami and developer Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake, but the project has now received a fresh airing as part of Sony’s latest PlayStation State of Play showcase, this time with a trailer focusing on the game’s “improved and modernised” combat.

Thankfully, the publisher isn’t leaving Silent Hill fans completely wanting – it’s just announced a new “contemporary” first-person Silent Hill entry, The Last Message, will release for free on PS5 today.

Additionally, it’s reassuring, and perhaps even a little surprising, to see just how closely Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake hews to aesthetic of the original 2001 PlayStation 2 game – it certainly doesn’t look like we’re in for a radical tonal reinvention here.
