Silent Hill 2 Remake surpasses 2.5 million sales – A new milestone for the horror classic
The “new” Silent Hill 2 is a remake of the legendary classic from 2001 and was released on October 8, 2024. The game was developed by Bloober Team and published by Konami. It launched on PlayStation 5 and PC.
The game was built using the Unreal Engine 5, featuring an overhauled camera, modern controls, and newly voiced dialogues. You step into the shoes of James Sunderland and search for your deceased wife in the lonely, foggy town of Silent Hill. She left James a message after her death. The game was especially praised for its atmosphere, graphics, and emotional storytelling.
The remake has been slightly expanded and reworked compared to the original. The pacing was also adjusted — not everyone liked the changes, but they are considered an improvement for newcomers. The game already had a strong start with 1 million units sold in its first week.
Silent Hill 2 Remake surpasses 2.5 million sales milestone
Konami confirmed a few days ago that as of October 2025, the remake has sold over 2.5 million units worldwide. This figure includes both physical and digital sales. Sales of Silent Hill 2 now account for a quarter of all sales in the Silent Hill franchise. Overall, games in the series have sold more than 11.5 million copies.
It's now been a full year since the dense fog came in and engulfed everything in its way during last year's spooky season. ️

Reviews were mixed and there was controversy over story changes, but the remake was still a major success. The franchise has proven it can still deliver quality games even after more than 20 years. The original Silent Hill sold just over 1 million copies, so the remake has significantly surpassed that milestone.
The future of the series: What comes after Silent Hill 2?
A few days ago, the new Silent Hill f was released, following the story of a Japanese schoolgirl. But what’s next? Currently, more projects are in development, such as Silent Hill: Townfall by No Code. Thanks to the remake’s success, Konami now has renewed confidence in the brand and plans to continue working on it.
Fans of the series are now hoping for a remake of the first Silent Hill from 1999. There’s also a chance for cross-media projects like a series or a movie, although nothing has been confirmed yet. The next milestone for Silent Hill 2 will, of course, be 3 million copies sold. Reaching that number would further prove that classic horror can thrive with modern technology and remain highly successful.
Conclusion: Silent Hill is back – stronger than ever
With over 2.5 million copies sold, the Silent Hill 2 Remake has not only reached a major milestone but also demonstrated that classic survival horror still works in 2025. Despite mixed reviews and debates about story and pacing changes, Bloober Team has successfully brought a legendary classic to a new generation — with stunning atmosphere, modern technology, and emotional depth.
The success not only boosts confidence in the brand but also paves the way for future projects like Silent Hill: Townfall or a potential remake of the first game. The next big step will be reaching the 3 million mark, which would prove that Silent Hill is not just a relic of the past but a franchise with a strong future in the modern horror genre.
