Happy 20th birthday to the game we all fell in love with and that made you follow this account! 🎂🥳 Silent Hill 2 was first released today, September 24th, 2001, in North America. How time flies! What was your first memories with the game?
Everyone,
Thank you SO much for the outpouring of support and well-wishes from our project's final update. We wanted to cap off this major milestone with a project completion announcement to you all (video link below).
Thank you all again, very much.
📺👉
🚨 ATTN: We decided to rebrand as SILENT HILL 2 XTREME EDITION, aka "SH2XE", or just "X" for short.
We recognize that brand recognition is A Thing. But who needs that when you can do a cool name with an X in it? 😎
The Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition project site and Setup Tool are back online! If you were having issues with installing the project last week, please try again now. 🧵
The user traffic for visiting/downloading the project has exploded and our shared server can't keep up with it all! 😅 We're in the middle of switching over to a dedicated server to help alleviate the traffic demand. Bear with us as we migrate over. Thanks!

Hi all!
We're working hard to fix the most egregious high framerate (60 FPS) issues and, we're happy to say, progress is coming along nicely! Look forward to a proper 60 FPS mode for Silent Hill 2 as part of our next project update! Read top comment for more info 👇
It's official/real... a Silent Hill 2 remake has been announced!🤯
Let's get excited and be supportive for this and all of the other new Silent Hill games announced today to make Silent Hill a household name again!
We can play and enjoy both the new games and old games. 🫂
We're happy to announce a new 🇺🇦 Ukrainian translation pack is now offered on the project website for Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition!
You can grab the pack here:

To those who are new following us: We're a fan project remastering the original Silent Hill 2 PC (2002/3) game. Bloober Team is hard at work on the Silent Hill 2 Remake. Please join us in supporting and cheering them on as they bring SH2 to a new generation of players to enjoy!
For the next update, there will be a new "Language Pack" page on the site! This page will include fan translation packs made with guidance from us on the EE team.

We should have an optimistic outlook on the Silent Hill 2 remake. The remake is being made by people who love the original game, like us. This should mean we'll have both the new and old game to enjoy and appreciate in their own ways. The more, the merrier! 🫂
(Take two 😉)
AND WE'RE LIVE! The next major update (Update

Hi everyone,
We wanted to give you an update that progress is coming along nicely for the next update to Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition. We don't have a release date yet (it's worked on as we have time) but this update will have a lot of nice, new features in it for you all!
For the Silent Hill 1, 3, & 4 Easter eggs we've included: They're items found in their respective games hidden within the game world of SH2. However, they *cannot* be acquired or interacted with--the hunt is to spot them in the environment while playing. 🧐🥚
We're so proud of this upcoming feature for the project, we had to make an announcement trailer for it! 😁
As part of our next project update, and for the first time ever for the game, Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition will offer a MASTER VOLUME slider! 🔊🥳
We'll have more details to share about this in the future, but flashlight reflections are coming back--and we're bringing them to new areas never utilized before (like in the video below).

Did you know we have a CRT mode? (View images at 100% size for correct effect!)
Open the project's Config Tool, set the game to play in Fullscreen Windowed mode, and enable the CRT shader. Don't forget to set the game's aspect ratio to 4:3 for the full retro effect!

A new trailer has released for the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake! It's great to see Silent Hill 2 being introduced to a new generation of players to enjoy and offering a new take for old players to revisit. Options are always good! 🫂
Please note a project on NexusMods named "Silent Hill 3: Enhanced Edition" is NOT from us. We have no affiliation with this project and cannot attest to its viability. We wish the project uploader would have chosen a different name, but we have no control over this.
The length of this extended trailer for SILENT HILL 2 Remake... WOW! We noticed much love and attention to detail put into assets/locations carried over from the original, along with expanded locations/story beats to keep things fresh for veteran players!
Hi everyone,
It's been a moment! We wanted to provide a quick video update to discuss a few of the bigger, more exciting things we have planned for Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition in the future:
-=- crt aesthetics -=-
We're also looking into providing a CRT filter for the project, for those times when you want to scratch that retro display itch. Pairing that with the restored Japanese language makes for a vibe
We've released our first hotfix for Update
#10
. This fixes:
1. Incorrect textures in the game's environments (accidentally caused when editing textures to support the flashlight reflection)
2. 🇪🇸 Bugged main menu for the Castilian Spanish language pack
3. Updated Credits FMV Pack
A new story trailer has released for SILENT HILL 2 Remake that includes our first look at Eddie and a banging new rendition of Promise! 🎵🎸 We can't wait to play!
(1/1) To spill the beans a little, to top off our biggest update ever, we've been researching how to make the water effects look nicer. See video example below of our desired outcome. We're not 100% sure we can pull this off but are working hard to make it happen.

🇯🇵 We are in the process of restoring the Japanese language for Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition, along with providing a high resolution Japanese font sheet. This will be included as part of our next project update.
We've got a ton of Silent Hill runs today to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary!

We still have a little ways to go before we're ready to release the next project update, but script recording for the next update video is complete and can say the video will be at least 17 minutes and 23 seconds in length!
For the next project update, full mouse support will be coming to Silent Hill 2 PC! Tirelessly led by team member
@mercury01f5
, this great new feature will offer a new way to play the game. Check out our short "coming soon" video for a short demo! 👇

We've just pushed out our next hotfix. This is another small update that focuses on issues for our newly introduced Speedrun Mode.
We're anticipating one or two more hotfixes ahead for our final update and that should cover everything. Thanks!
The cat's out of the bag: Programmer and modder Gemini, famous and loved for his classic Resident Evil PC restoration projects (project REbirth), has joined us in helping to fix and improve SH2 PC! Best collab of 2021? Probably!
Do you have a background/experience in fixing high framerate issues for (old PC) games? If so, we need and would love your help! Please watch our short Call To Action video looking for a lead role in this effort. Thank you!

We're still working hard on upscaling the full screen images. It's a slow process that we're in the early stages of, and we have to get them *all* finished before we can launch the next release. In the meantime, check out some progress shots:

Our current hosting provider said they'll be upgrading our plan to a premium tier to handle traffic, and are doing so complimentary to us for a few months. We see the site is now currently unavailable, too, and are assuming this is due to the start of that upgrade.
Bear with us: We have checksums for the downloads and if a download gets interrupted, the checksum becomes mismatched and will cancel that package download (meaning you have to try again). Because the servers are so congested right now, download interruptions will be common.
A new trailer for SILENT HILL 2 Remake just released and it looks BEAUTIFUL. 🥲 And to top things off, we now have a release date of OCTOBER 8th! 🗓️
We can't wait to play this beloved game all over again!! 😁
Hi all,
An update on our
@ionos_com
server issue: Last week, we upgraded from a shared hosting plan to a dedicated server to help with site/download speeds and stability for the project. Upon upgrading, we've been withOUT access to our server/files for five days now. 🧵
An exciting, upcoming feature for our project is the ability to detect every resolution your display has to offer and allowing you to select them in the game's options menu. We even show you what aspect ratios they are! (The gray BG in this video is my desktop background🙂)
Hi all,
Last Friday, our hosting provider,
@ionos_help_US
, said our move to a dedicated server was complete, but that's unfortunately not the case. A major error happened when they moved us, and we've been without access to our server files since and speeds are < 100/kbsp.
Fresh off the presses is a (digital) poster for you to grab! Grab the full resolution version in the link below. Bonus points if you know what this poster is inspired by. 😎
VGC also shared 30 minutes of gameplay with their hands-on demo of SILENT HILL 2 Remake. The environments are stunning! You can explore more stores throughout the town! Red Pyramid Thing is threatening as ever! 😍
🔧 We've released a hotfix for Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition! This hotfix updates our project's "SH2 Enhancements Module" and "Xidi" packages. Read the comments below for more info. 👇
What if we makes things easier for keyboard (and soon: mouse!) users by having walk/run be a toggleable option? Thanks to our newest team member
@mercury01f5
, this is now an option! In the coming days we'll be introducing Mercury and showcasing more of his great work. Stay tuned!
An upcoming feature, made by team member Aero_, will restore James' alternate stomp animation. When you perform the stomp, there will now be a 50/50 chance of getting either animation. Thanks Aero_!! Read the comments to learn more about this secondary stomp.
Yes! We too noticed
