When asked about the average length of Bloober Team’s remake, Creative Director Mateusz Lenart stated that players would find about 16-18 hours of content in the remake during their first run.

He also confirmed that a completionist run would be even longer, taking the total playtime to about 20+ hours. This would mean finding all the secrets and uncovering everything in the remake.

Moreover, the Creative Director stated that fans could extend the playtime further by going for multiple playthroughs to discover the various endings. All in all, the team seems to have doubled the amount of content compared to Konami’s original Silent Hill 2.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Has Gone Through Various Changes Recently

Konami is gearing up for a launch in October, and more information is expected as the release date draws nearer. The team also recently confirmed a 60FPS mode for the game.

Bloober Team’s decision to extend the playtime is certainly interesting. The remake is said to be faithful in many areas, but the team has likely made various changes with the additional content.

Whether this approach resonates with the fans remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: the studio certainly has high ambitions.
