Rumors of a Silent Hill 2 remake have been circulating for months, and some early screenshots are allegedly floating around online now.
Over the weekend, numerous images of what’s rumored to be a Silent Hill 2 remake began popping up all over Twitter. Many of these were swiftly taken down already, but VGC reporter Andrew Marmo has managed to keep a few very low-quality shots up for the time being.
The three images show protagonist James Sunderland trepidatiously making his way through several locations. One shows him investigating a messy office, while the second has James at the foot of an enormous hallway. It’s hard making these out, and I say that as someone that’s beaten Silent Hill 2 upwards of 50 times — look, it’s one of the survival horror greats. Don’t judge me!
There’s no mistaking the third image, though. It’s the Brookhaven Hospital, complete with a Bubble Head Nurse enemy. Check out the screenshots below.

As with every rumor, don’t take this as anything official. Infamous leaker Dusk Golem, who’s long-teased this supposedly Bloober Team lead project, claims that the screenshots are genuine but are from an early build of the game.
“They’re real, but they’re not even CLOSE to the final product,” Dusk Golem said via Resetera. “These are from an internal pitch demo from Bloober before they got greenlit, so it’s literally a no budget proof of concept thing rather than a final product, just keep that in mind. Out of everything that could’ve leaked, this isn’t actually what the final game looks like.”
There’s been some speculation that publisher Konami might make an announcement regarding all this at the Tokyo Game Show, which begins Sept. 15, 2022. Again, though, this is mostly just hopeful wishing.
