Bloober Team President: ‘Silent Hill 2’ Remake in “Advanced Stage” of Development
So, now that the Silent Hill 2 remake has finally been revealed and confirmed to be in development by Bloober Team, just when can we actually get our hands on it? While that obviously wasn’t part of the presentation by Konami, recent quotes by Bloober Team president Piotr Babieno suggest that it won’t be very long until we get an answer.
According to Polish news website gram.pl, during WSE Innovation Day, Babieno discussed the development for the upcoming remake, revealing that Silent Hill 2 had been in development since 2019, and that Konami was covering the development costs. Furthermore, development has reached an “advanced stage”, which would suggest that we would be getting an update on its release date in the near future.
As for that magical date, Babieno stated that decision lay in the hands of Konami. However, he also said that Konami would give an update soon.
Another interesting tidbit about Silent Hill 2‘s development is the fact that Konami has been handling development costs this entire time. On top of that, Bloober Team is already receiving money for the next stages of production. “Bloober Team is already earning money, we are already at the stage where we receive funds for each subsequent milestone and of course we have a margin on it,” explains Babieno. “However, yes, we will also participate in the event of success – we will be its direct beneficiaries.”
In fact (and rightfully so), Konami and Bloober Team anticipate big returns when the game is released. Konami’s “internal research” indicates that the Silent Hill 2 remake will net “at least several million units sold”.
Currently, Silent Hill 2 is in development for PC via Steam and the PlayStation 5, with the Xbox Series coming at a later date.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
