Silent Hill 2 Remake Trailer Criticized by Developer and Fans Alike

Bloober Team distances itself from combat-focused trailer, emphasizing the game will honor the original's atmospheric horror.

Bloober Team, the developer behind the Silent Hill 2 remake, has publicly criticized the game's recent combat-focused trailer, stating it does not reflect the true spirit of the game.
The trailer, showcased during Sony's State of Play, was criticized by fans and the developer alike for its emphasis on action, which contrasts with the original game's atmospheric and psychological horror.
Bloober Team's CEO, Piotr Babieno, emphasized that the marketing and trailer production were solely Konami's responsibility, distancing the development team from the criticized aspects.
Despite the backlash, Bloober Team assures fans that the final game will stay true to the original's essence, focusing on a romantic vision of the game that debuted 22 years ago.
Silent Hill 2 remake is still in development with no official release date, but it is expected to launch sometime in 2024 on PC and PS5.
