Silent Hill 2 is an upcoming survival horror game developed by Bloober Team and published by Konami. It is a remake to the 2001 game of the same name, originally developed by Team Silent, a group within Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo (KCET). It will be the first major installment in the Silent Hill series since Silent Hill: Downpour (2012). Like the original game, it follows James Sunderland (Luke Roberts), a widower, who returns to the eponymous town of Silent Hill upon receiving a letter from his deceased wife, Mary (Salóme Gunnarsdóttir [de]), who claims to be waiting there for him.

The remake of Silent Hill 2 was officially announced in October 2022 following months of speculation and leaks, and is the first game in an ongoing initiative by Konami to rejuvenate mainstream interest in the franchise, which had not seen a new major entry since the release of Silent Hill: Book of Memories (2012) and the subsequent cancellation of Silent Hills from former internal studio Kojima Productions. The remake is being led by Bloober Team creative director Mateusz Lenart, while it is being produced by Motoi Okamoto from Konami. Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka, who served as creature designer and composer for the original game respectively, have taken an active part in development according to Maciej Głomb, Ito has provided concept art for locations and monsters while Yamaoka returned as a composer.
