The Final Update for Silent Hill 2 PC Enhanced Edition Released
The dedicated group of volunteers behind the remarkable Silent Hill 2 PC Enhanced Edition has just unveiled its 10th and final update.
Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition is a collaborative project aimed at enhancing the original PC version of Silent Hill 2 to be compatible with modern hardware, playable in widescreen aspect ratios, and with improved visuals, audio, and bug fixes.
The team, consisting of programmers, modders, and artists, is proud to offer players a definitive HD experience of Silent Hill 2 (2001).
In their latest update video, the team highlights new features such as enhanced environmental assets, restored flashlight reflections, improved water visuals, true 60 fps FMVs, various game improvements, and more.
The conclusion of the project is not tied to the upcoming release of Silent Hill 2 Remake; the team had planned this final update for two years now based on their own decision.
After dedicating almost seven years to the project, the team expressed their satisfaction with the development and achievements for the game through a statement on Twitter.
Mateusz Lenart, the creative director and lead designer of Bloober Team for Silent Hill 2 Remake, confirmed that the psychological horror game will offer an average completion time of 16-18 hours. He hinted that it would take “more than 20 hours” for players to discover all the hidden elements in the game.
In a recent message on Twitter, Lenart suggested that even with that playtime, players may not have experienced everything, including the new game plus feature and all the endings.
Earlier this month, Tom Morgan shared his impressions of the remake’s opening hours in Eurogamer’s preview of Silent Hill 2 Remake.
“In rebuilding this beloved classic with upgraded visuals and controls, the new combat style blends in surprisingly well,” Tom noted in his comprehensive overview.
