Silent Hill 2 Remake Rated for Xbox Series Consoles

Xbox Fans Get Good News

Patient fans of Silent Hill can rejoice as the Silent Hill 2 Remake has recently appeared on the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) website with a new listing for the Xbox Series console.

ESRB Rating Details

The remake had previously been assigned a rating solely for PlayStation 5 and PC, receiving a 17+ due to its blood, gore, sexual themes, strong language, and violence. With this new listing, Xbox players can expect the same intense content.

Console Exclusivity

While players have been eager for this news, it's worth noting that the remake launched as a year-long exclusive on PS5, and that exclusivity ended last month. Although Konami has been somewhat tight-lipped on the specifics of the Xbox port and the eagerly awaited Born From a Wish DLC, this ESRB listing signals that it is likely on the way.

Sales Performance

The Silent Hill 2 Remake has sold 2.5 million copies globally, contributing to the franchise's impressive total of 10 million sales. In IGN's review, the game received a commendable 8/10 rating, highlighting its place as a notable entry in the survival horror genre.

Future of Silent Hill

Recently, series producer Motoi Okamoto discussed Konami's commitment to reviving the Silent Hill series after a decade of silence. The company's announcement of three new Silent Hill projects, including the remake and Silent Hill f, received positive responses from both fans and critics alike.

This momentum suggests that Konami is serious about breathing new life into the franchise.
