Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 Remake is a huge hit both critically and financially. It has already sold over 1 million copies in a span of days, the first game in the franchise to do so. While faithful to the original game, the remake also expands and adds many different areas and aspects that were present in the 2001 title.

It will be longer by default since it’s a ground-up remake of the original game. Even the original title on the PlayStation 2 was quite long for a horror game in those days, clocking in at approximately 8 hours. So how does the length of the remake fare in comparison? Read on below to find out all the details.
How Long Does It Take To Beat Silent Hill 2 Remake?
According to HowLongToBeat, Silent Hill 2 takes around 15 hours to complete if you’re playing just the story and not aiming for a 100% completionist run. However, if you do want to find out all the secrets that Silent Hill harbors, then you’ll need around 28 hours to complete the game 100%.
It’s a whole lot bigger than the original game, and that was to be expected considering how much the remake expands and adds to the original narrative. In addition to that, before the game was released, Bloober Team already confirmed that the game takes around 16-18 hours average to complete, so the final playtime isn’t very surprising.
The final playtime is also dependent on how you approach and play the game. Some may speed run through the story to finish it; others may want to take their time and explore everything that Silent Hill 2 has to offer. It all depends on you, really, but don’t go in expecting it to be a short experience.
How Many Endings Does Silent Hill 2 Remake Have?
Silent Hill 2 Remake features a total of eight endings, which is two more than the original game as it featured six endings. The six endings in the remake aren’t all that different from the original, with very subtle and minor differences. But the other two endings are completely new, and they can be unlocked in New Game+. Here’s a list of all the endings:
- “Leave” Ending
- “Maria” Ending
- “In Water” Ending
- “Ritual” Ending
- “Dog” Ending
- “UFO” Ending
- “Bliss” Ending (New)
- “Stillness” Ending (New)
On your first playthrough, you’ll be able to get the first three endings mentioned above, but to unlock the rest, you’ll need to return to Silent Hill on New Game+. The endings from the original game remain the same (including the joke ones), but the method to unlock them has changed. So, if you’re really aiming to 100% complete the remake, you better be prepared to visit Silent Hill quite a few times.
