Konami is celebrating the phenomenal success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, announcing it has surpassed two million copies sold. Developed by Bloober Team, the remake launched on October 8th, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. Within days, it achieved one million sales, potentially making it the fastest-selling Silent Hill game ever, though Konami is yet to officially confirm this record.

Konami lauded the game's critical reception, noting numerous perfect review scores, awards, and nominations, solidifying its place as a modern classic in the horror genre. IGN's review awarded the game 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."

This remarkable sales performance could significantly influence Konami's future plans for the franchise, which has seen a resurgence in recent years. Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are currently in development, and the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake may encourage further remakes of past titles. A film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 is also in the works.

PC players are already showcasing the remake's modding potential, with impressive modifications ranging from removing visual elements like hair sheen and fog to complete overhauls like transforming the game into a sunny, idyllic setting.

The Silent Hill 2 remake introduces new puzzles and redesigned maps. For players needing assistance, resources such as a walkthrough hub, a guide to the various endings, key location guides, and a New Game+ explanation are available.
