If you're waiting on the Silent Hill 2 Remake release time to know precisely when you can dive into Bloober Team's remake of one of the greatest horror games ever made, well, I'm right there with you, and I have that information to share with you.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is set to release on Tuesday, October 8, and reviews are by and large indicative of a remake that stays faithful to the 2001 classic while modernizing elements to be approachable in 2024. GamesRadar+'s Silent Hill 2 Remake review called it "an atmospheric and rewarding horror game up there with the Resident Evil remakes for reinventing a classic," awarding the remake 3.5/5 stars.
