Weeks of rumors and even a rating by the ESRB later, a release date for Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 on Xbox Series X/S has leaked via Microsoft’s own storefront. Discovered by True Achievements, which has access to the Xbox Store’s backend (and provided a screenshot of the listing), it’s apparently out on November 21st.
Going by the image, it will support Xbox cloud saves, Achievements, and more. A Deluxe Edition is also seemingly on the way, with a digital art book and soundtrack. It’s worth noting that Xbox Series X/S and PC are listed as platforms, but Xbox Play Anywhere support isn’t specified.
It’s possible that the listing is still a work in progress, so we’ll have to wait for the official announcement. If Silent Hill 2 remake is dropping seemingly out of nowhere in the coming weeks for Xbox, then what about Born from a Wish, the long-rumored additional scenario turned paid DLC?
Actor Salóme Rannveig Gunnarsdóttir, who plays Maria in the base game, said that Bloober Team hadn’t contacted her for the same. However, narrative designer Grzegorz Like seemingly teased its existence, responding to a fan with, “Born from what?” and the “eyes” emoji.
Stealth drop incoming? At the very least, it could be an announcement at The Game Awards on December 11th. In the meantime, check out our review of Silent Hill 2 remake on PS5 here. You can also learn more about the latest entry, Silent Hill f, here.
