There are so many ways James Sunderland’s story can end in the Silent Hill 2 remake, but unfortunately, this love story does not offer that fairy tale ending.

With eight Silent Hill 2 remake endings—two additional to James’s and Mary’s story—here is our full guide on unlocking all Silent Hill 2 remake endings.

Making your way through the dangerous city in Silent Hill 2 comes with many risks, but there are memories you need to track down. A major one is the many Strange Photographs, each with a distinct memory of Mary for James.

The locations of these Strange Photos can be tricky to find. Not only do you need to be looking for them at the correct location, but you might be barred from seeking them out as you navigate through Silent Hill. You want to ensure you grab them all before you move on and reach the end of the game. Here’s what you need to know about where to find all Strange Photo locations in the Silent Hill 2 remake.

I don’t remember how I found out about Silent Hill. The origins of this story have long since faded into the fog. But the memories remain, vivid as ever yet shifting with every passing playthrough. Always someone else’s, that is.

You see, I’ve always been too much of a wuss for anything horror-related. Unlike the protagonists of these games, I have the option to escape at any time—so I immediately do. Why submit myself to torrid discomfort? Fear and pain are not my thing, never have been. Everyone has a limit.

Chasing that little nuisance, Laura, around the mysterious Silent Hill has brought you to the Brookhaven Hospital, Silent Hill 2’s next item on the Find Mary agenda. Puzzles are harder and enemies are tougher—and even Maria doesn’t want anything to do with this place, as she admits herself to one of the “cozy” hospital beds.

Here is our full guide on how to make it out of the Brookhaven Hospital alive in Silent Hill 2 remake.

Part of the Otherworld Brookhaven Hospital in Silent Hill 2 remake, the Chained Box is the core puzzle you need to solve if you want to discharge yourself. After completing Brookhaven Hospital only to get tricked by Laura, James finds himself on the wrong side of a nightmare. The Bubble Head Nurses now have knives, the Lying Figures explode on impact, and Mannequins hide around corners like ninjas.

So, you must solve the Chained Box puzzle in Silent Hill 2 remake if you want to make it out of the Otherworld alive. Here’s everything you need to know about the Chained Box.

Your introduction to Silent Hill consists of multiple puzzles to get yourself truly settled in. As the mist envelopes the town’s entrance, the path from Neely’s Bar to Wood Side Apartments feels miles away. You find the warm embrace of the apartments, but this is only the beginning.

Here is our full guide on how to complete the Wood Side and Blue Creek Apartments in the Silent Hill 2 remake.

You’ll encounter several puzzles as you make your way through the Silent Hill 2 remake, which can be exceptionally challenging. One of the first things you find is putting together the broken jukebox you discover at Neely’s Bar, and it’s missing several parts.

These are parts you can find throughout the town of Silent Hill. Unfortunately, you might be stuck trying to figure out the best way to learn where to track down these parts. They can be difficult to find, and when you know where to find them, expect the monsters of Silent Hill to defend these locations, making them even more challenging to grab. Here’s what you need to know about how to fix the Neely’s Bar Jukebox in Silent Hill 2.

Silent Hill is one of the biggest—if not the biggest—survival horror franchises ever made. In 25 years, the franchise has spawned more than a dozen games, with nine main games (including the Silent Hill 2 remake) and several spin-offs.

Over the years, Silent Hill titles became very hit or miss as the franchise took a few diversions. Here are (objectively) the best Silent Hill games when taking into consideration the franchise as a whole.

Silent Hill 2 developers Bloober Team are preparing to launch the much-anticipated remake of the 2001 title, but first, they’ve sent the franchise faithful into a frenzy after releasing a clip showing off a “90s filter” for the game—and plenty of fans feel like the developer’s dedication is showing.

Bloober team released the clip on Sept. 4, showing Silent Hill 2 protagonist James Sunderland walking around with a plank and making his way through an empty, fog-filled street. The UI is off and it leaves a clearer depiction of what the studio’s going for; the colors are more dialed down in comparison to gameplay without the filter. That desaturation is in service of a grungier look evocative of 90s hits and chiaroscuro cinematography. “Everything about this is amazing,” one fan said, and most seem to agree.

We’ve been waiting for the Silent Hill 2 remake with bated breath, and now, we finally know when we’ll return to the iconic ghost town.

Silent Hill 2 remains a must-play horror title, and 23 years after its release, Bloober Team hopes to revive the game for a new generation—which is no easy task. If you’re eager to fight through the fog and bludgeon beasts in the shoes of James Sutherland, we have everything you need to know about its arrival.
