Silent Hill 2

Relive the bone-chilling tale of Silent Hill 2 with this stunning new remaster

You play as James, a widower who has received a mysterious letter from his late wife and returned to a place they once loved. Silent Hill. All that’s left is a ghost town, crawling with monsters and cloaked in a thick fog. You must solve puzzles and try to uncover the secrets in this town, all with updated visuals, high-fidelity sound, and improved camera work. 

What’s more, the Silent Hill 2 map has been extended, meaning there are new places to explore.
