Chilling Launch Trailer for the Remake of SILENT HILL 2
Silent Hill 2 is coming out this week, and today we’ve got a launch trailer to share with you from Konami and Bloober Team.
Like the original game, the remake is set in the eerie and fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill, and the story follows James Sunderland, a widower, who returns to the eponymous town of Silent Hill upon receiving a letter from his deceased wife, Mary, who claims to be waiting there for him.
“Driven by a sense of guilt and longing, James embarks on a nightmarish journey to unravel the truth behind his wife's death, encountering grotesque monsters and enigmatic characters along the way.”
Blooper Team Chief Marketing Officer Anna Jasińska previously said of the game: "We are focusing on bringing the distinct, visceral atmosphere back in the modernized Silent Hill 2.”
Experience a master-class in psychological survival horror—lauded as the best in the series—on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds.
