Bloober Team CEO, Piotr Babieno, recently announced in an interview with Bankier.pl, a Polish financial news platform, that their Silent Hill 2 remake was “technically ready” and that the company expects to sell over 10 million copies of the game. However, Bloober Team took to social media to clarify the statement made by their CEO. They retracted the comments made by Babieno and confirmed that the claims were lost in translation and not entirely accurate.
Bloober Team is the developer of a range of horror titles, such as The Medium and Layers of Fear, and is working on the Silent Hill 2 remake. The company had recently revealed a collection of all-new Silent Hill titles, including a special game currently under development that will see the series leave the titular town for the first time.
Some have doubts about the Silent Hill 2 remake’s success, with former Silent Hill writer and designer, Sam Barlow, stating in an interview that it is a “poison chalice” and that it will not be possible to make everyone happy with the final product. Despite the mixed reception, Bloober Team remains optimistic and has confirmed the current status of the game’s development.
Fans eagerly awaiting news about the Silent Hill 2 remake will have to wait for Konami to reveal more details. For now, we can only wait and see what Bloober Team has in store for the highly anticipated horror game.
