In a media preview for the upcoming remake that Geek Culture attended in Tokyo, Japan, Silent Hill series producer, Motoi Okamoto, made it clear that the remake serves two purposes.
The first is to remind gamers of the seminal game, while the second and more important reason, is to show audiences, new and old, that the Japanese publisher is capable of bringing the franchise to greater heights. “We fully understand that Silent Hill 2 probably has a whole special place in many people’s hearts as being memorable and as a masterpiece,” reminded Okamoto-san to the dozens of global media present. “So by introducing the remake of this game as the very first major title that we wanted to address to all of our players and all of the fans that Konami is serious about rebooting the series and that we are capable of delivering a high-quality Silent Hill game.
” Unfortunately, he did not elaborate on what or how the reboot would come along, though this marks the first time that Konami has addressed years of speculation that a reboot of the series was in the works, as it has been 12 years since a mainline Silent Hill game has been released. Little has been revealed about the upcoming game, Silent Hill f , which was announced back in 2022.
