Update: A previous version of this article stated that Bloober Team’s CEO Piotr Babieno said they had “pushed Konami very hard” for a PC version of the SH2 remake. We have since been made aware that those words were not spoken by Babieno and were taken out of context by bankier.pl It was a casual remark towards the shareholder who asked a question about Bloober’s will to release the game on PC as well, and there was no pressure implied towards Konami. The Steam version has generated considerable interest, and Bloober believes that, in addition to PlayStation, the Steam version will also be a success.
Original article: Silent Hill 2 Remake, initially announced as a PlayStation exclusive, will also be available on PC thanks to Bloober Team’s efforts. The Polish developer collaborated with publisher Konami to extend the game’s availability beyond PlayStation, indicating strong interest from the PC gaming community. The decision was crucial, as Bloober Team believes the game has significant potential on multiple platforms.
In a recent interview with Bankier, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno shared that while most of the game’s revenue is expected to come from PlayStation, the interest on Steam suggests that the PC launch will also be successful. He added that for Konami, PlayStation was the main market, but the demand on Steam justified their efforts.
The partnership between Bloober Team and Konami has been fruitful, with Babieno hinting at possible future collaborations. “You can expect that this is not the end of the adventure with Konami,” he said, suggesting that more remakes or new projects might be on the horizon.
The Silent Hill 2 Remake launches on October 8th, 2024, for both PC and PlayStation 5. The standard edition will cost $69.99, while the Digital Deluxe version is $79.99.
