Expectations were regarding the first declaration of the new game. Instead, it was about the remake of Silent Hill 2, which the Bloober Team is developing. The developers have worked on the previous titles already and it would be great to see what impact the remake will have. Considering the cult status of the original release, expectations will be high. 

The remake will be exclusive on the PS5 and PC for the first year post its release. The release date is still not known, and a movie will be made too on the basis of the same game.

The game follows the similar atmospheric horror and gore level that was in the teaser. Fans have been expecting new games for a decade or so since the last one was released in 2012.
