“We did the best job that we could” Silent Hill 2 devs on the challenges of remaking beloved horror classic

The upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 isn’t all that far away, with its release date set for October 8. As such, previews have been well underway as the game goes through the final stages of development and receives a final layer of polish.

While I talk about this at length in my preview, I didn’t have high expectations for a Silent Hill 2 remake. I was dreading it, to be frank. Much to my delight, though, Bloober Team has poured its heart, soul, and a lot of resources into the massive undertaking.

In conversation with lead producer, Maciej Glomb, and creative director, Mateusz Lenart, I asked a few questions about how they managed to achieve such an authentic portrayal of the original game while enhancing it for modern audiences, and what difficulties they may have faced.
