It looks like it won't be long before players put on the shoes of James Sunderland and watch his guilt take on physical manifestations in the form of bandaged nurses and the iconic Pyramid Head.
Over the past month, multiple signs have pointed to an official announcement about the Silent Hill 2 Remake coming soon.
Earlier this month, a listing on a Mexican retailer popped up that had the remake of the classic survival horror title set for May 30. Most paid little mind to this, thinking this was nothing but an errant listing and/or placeholder. Now, the sightings of the posters that are appearing in several GameStop locations, complete with an ESRB rating - the game doesn't appear on the official website but it received a similar rating on South Korea's equivalent of the regulatory body - suggest that a release date is imminent.
While uncharacteristic for most video game companies, the lack of an official release date until possibly two months before launch is typical of Konami's marketing strategies lately. We can recall that Konami released multiple Silent Hillgames over the past few months albeit to mixed results. Public reception aside, this could've been Konami's way of building up hype for the upcoming remake, which is the lynchpin of the company's ambitious revival project.
