Developed by Bloober Team, the new version follows the story of James Sunderland, a writer who travels to Silent Hill in search of his wife, who he believed to be deceased. This remake promises to bring a modernized gameplay style and perspective to the classic title, enhanced by features such as 3D audio, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers on the DualSense controller.
During Sony’s State of Play event in May, a new trailer was unveiled showcasing the revamped gameplay of the game. Unlike the original version developed in-house by Konami, this remake is being handled by Bloober Team, renowned for their work on titles like Layers of Fear and The Medium.
