Considered one of the great horror games of all time, Silent Hill 2 on PS2 packed in plenty of scares per square inch but was a relatively short game, clocking in at around 8-9 hours for a standard playthrough. To give you some idea of how much bigger Bloober Team's remake is, the developer has revealed that a first-time playthrough could easily take twice that, more if you want to do and see everything.
On X, Bloober creative director and lead designer Mateusz Lenart noticed VGC journalist Jordan Middler enjoying the opening hours of his Silent Hill 2 preview, wishing him well on the following "12+ hours of the game." When a fan chimed in to confirm the 12-hour runtime, Lenart revealed that an average playthrough will take most players 16-18 hours and 20+ to find all of Silent Hill's secrets.
