Silent Hill 2 remake, when revealed, received a lot of criticism from the fandom as the game looked pretty average. However, with time, Bloober Team managed to improve it so much that it received an overwhelmingly positive reception from the fans.
The Silent Hill series is pretty popular among horror genre fans, but the remake managed to become the fastest-selling game in the series. So, it is fair to say that Bloober Team outdid itself.
Following the success of the developer’s first game, they began working on a remake of the original Silent Hill. According to an insider, the project has been in development for three years.
Why it matters: Due to the successful release of the Silent Hill 2 remake, the fandom is now excited about Bloober Team’s future titles.
After the release of Silent Hill 2 Remake, the fandom started demanding that Bloober Team to now work on the first and third iterations in the series. Little did they know the developer was already working on the remake of the original title.
Dusk Golem, an insider who specialises in information regarding horror games, has revealed that the remake of Silent Hill 1 has been in development for roughly three years now. The insider has been accurate with his information many times, as he recently revealed some details about Resident Evil 9, which have since proven to be true.
He further states that the game will be released in 2027, so the overall development time will be stretched to 5 years. This seems like a reasonable development for a remake that is potentially being developed in Unreal Engine 5. It is generally assumed that the game will be developed using UE5, but this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.
Still, there is plenty of time left until the game’s release, but horror genre fans need not worry, as many good games are on the way.
