Speaking to GameSpot in the wake of its newly announced horror title Cronos: The New Dawn, the team behind the recently released Silent Hill 2 remake said that it’s looking to shake its previous reputation and emulate the critical and commercial success of Silent Hill 2
“We want to find our niche, and we think we found our niche, so now we just–let’s evolve with it,” said co-director Jacek Zieba.
“And how that happens is more complex, but it also happens organically in a way, like with [2016’s] Layers of Fear, people in the studio were like, ‘Okay, we made some shitty games before, but we [can] evolve.”
“We gathered a team that loves horror,” co-director Wojciech Piejko added. “So I think, for us, it would not be easy to switch [to other genres], and we don’t want to.”
Bloober Team’s latest, Silent Hill 2 was released earlier this month to widespread critical acclaim and currently has a Metacritic score of 87.
VGC’s Silent Hill 2 review says the remake “proves the doubters wrong”, calling it “a faithful take on a survival horror classic”.
“Silent Hill 2 is a skilfully handled retelling of one of the medium’s most loved survival horror games,” we wrote.
“It stays faithful to the original (to a fault at times) but breathes enough new life into it to simultaneously ensure that long-time fans will appreciate the respect shown, while newcomers won’t find it antiquated.”
