Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 are due for release in 2024 according to Sony.Silent Hill 2 was originally released in 2001 on PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC before a remake was confirmed by Konami in October 2022.

We faithfully stick to the traditional story canon while remaking the gameplay and updating the graphics from the ground up,” she explained.Meanwhile, a “faithful” remake of 2004’s Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was announced last May. “A new generation of players and loyal fans alike can experience the origin story of the famed Big Boss, and witness how his legend was forged in the crucible of Operation Snake Eater,” said Konami.“The remake will star the original voice characters, rich storyline, and expansive features of combat survival in harsh environments evolved with unprecedented graphics and immersive sound.”While both titles are still without a release date, both have been included in Sony’s official “the biggest games coming to PS5 in 2024” list, suggesting both are due for release within the next 12 months.However, a note at the bottom of the blog reads: “All featured titles scheduled for release in 2024 at the time of publication.
