Konami Celebrates Silent Hill 2 Remake Hitting 2 Million Sales

Konami has celebrated the remarkable success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, which soared past the 2 million sales milestone. Developed by Bloober Team, the game became available on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on October 8, 2024. While there's no confirmation yet on a version for Xbox Series X and S, the game's initial sales were staggering, reaching 1 million copies sold within just days of its release. This rapid sales pace positioned Silent Hill 2 as a potential record-breaker for the fastest-selling game in the Silent Hill series, although Konami has not officially confirmed this status.

"Since its launch, Silent Hill 2 has garnered numerous accolades, including several 'perfect' review scores, and has won multiple awards and nominations, solidifying its status as a timeless classic in the horror video game genre," Konami stated.

IGN's review of the Silent Hill 2 remake awarded it an impressive 8/10, with our review stating, "Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."

The sales triumph of the Silent Hill 2 remake could bolster Konami's ambitions for the franchise, which have intensified in recent years. Projects like Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are still in development, and there's even a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 on the horizon. Furthermore, the modding community has been actively engaging with the PC version, creating notable modifications such as removing the hair sheen and the iconic fog, and even transforming the game into Sunny Hills.
