Bloober Team Comments On Playtime Ahead of Launch!

Story Highlight
  • Silent Hill 2 Remake is said to take around 16 hours to complete on average.
  • Bloober Team says that a playthrough can last up to 20 hours, depending on how the remake is approached.
  • Going by HowLongToBeat, the original game could be finished in around 8 hours.

Silent Hill 2 Remake has just received the first encouraging information in a long while. Following a well-received story trailer, the remake received positive feedback from the general public.

Bloober Team has thanked audiences for all the recent feedback, and the team has also commented on the game’s total playtime. According to a developer, the remake will be at least twice as long as the original release.

Why it matters: As per HowLongToBeat, Silent Hill 2 takes about 8 hours on average to beat. It seems Bloober Team has added quite a bit of content to ensure the experience is more extensive this time around.

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.
