Silent Hill 2 Remake Global Release Times Confirmed

Konami has revealed the global release times for the Silent Hill 2 Remake across PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.

The publisher shared launch times for each region in an X/Twitter post, below, across its October 8 release date, confirming exactly when survival horror fans can get their hands on the highly anticipated remake.

It sees players take on the role of protagonist James Sunderland as he follows a mysterious letter from his late wife to the terrifying town of Silent Hill, which teems with nightmarish monsters out for blood. "Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit (or revisit) one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror," IGN said in our 8/10 review.

Those on Xbox will have to wait a tad longer, as Sony itself has confirmed Silent Hill 2 is a PS5 console exclusive for one year.
