Silent Hill 2 Remake Could Arrive on PS Plus Extra This October

The whispers surrounding Silent Hill 2 Remake are growing louder once again – and this time, it’s not about another trailer or patch. According to the ever-reliable leaker billbil-kun from Dealabs, the acclaimed horror remake could soon arrive on PlayStation Plus Extra, with a rumored launch date of October 21.

If true, that would mark one of the biggest horror additions to Sony’s subscription library in months.

Billbil-kun’s track record gives this rumor real weight. Known for consistently accurate early leaks about PS Plus lineups, he was the first to reveal that Alan Wake 2 would join the Essential tier – which Sony later confirmed during its State of Play. The leaker’s reliability has made his posts almost as official as the announcements themselves, with many PlayStation fans treating his scoops as early confirmation rather than speculation.

The Silent Hill 2 Remake, developed by Bloober Team in partnership with KONAMI, launched to both fan and critic acclaim after a wave of pre-release skepticism. Many doubted whether Bloober could handle one of gaming’s most haunting legacies, yet the final product silenced critics. Wccftech reviewer Chris Wray awarded it a glowing 9/10, calling it the studio’s best work to date – a faithful but modern reimagining of one of the most influential survival horror games ever made. The new version manages to preserve the eerie psychological atmosphere while introducing sharper controls, modern visuals, and a deeper emotional weight that connects strongly with today’s players.

Commercially, the remake was just as impressive, surpassing two million copies sold and convincing KONAMI to extend its collaboration with Bloober Team for a remake of the original Silent Hill. That move signals not just trust but also a renewed commitment to reviving the series for a new generation of players.

Bloober hasn’t been resting either. The Polish studio recently launched Cronos: New Dawn, a new sci-fi horror IP that scored 8/10 on Wccftech. Despite a slow start, the game’s eerie atmosphere, strong narrative beats, and clever use of tension made it another standout in the horror space – one that proves Bloober has matured beyond simply remaking classics.

If Silent Hill 2 Remake truly joins PS Plus Extra later this month, it could expose millions of new players to one of horror’s defining experiences. Whether you’re revisiting the fog-covered streets of Silent Hill or entering them for the first time, this is the kind of game that lingers – unsettling, emotional, and unforgettable.
