James walks through a foggy Silent Hill. The Silent Hill 2 remake sounds like it's shaping up to be the faithful tribute fans are hoping for. However, new gameplay wrinkles and secrets mean it won't be just a one-to-one recreation.

According to Bloober Team's creative director, the survival horror remake will actually take players much longer to beat than the original.

It still won't be a long game, but it will be longer than the 2001 PlayStation 2 game it's based on. The first playthrough is around 16-18 hours on average.

If you like to spend your time searching for everything that we put into the game and things we've hidden for you, it will take you more than 20 hours for sure.

The original Silent Hill 2 takes around eight hours to finish according to player surveys on HowLongToBeat, with completionist runs taking closer to 16 hours.

The game has six different endings, which Lenart alluded to in a separate post. The remake apparently has even more alternate endings.

It's nice to know that longtime fans won't just be treated to a cinematic refresh of one of their favorite games but a potentially meatier survival horror experience overall.

This includes some new combat mechanics and new hidden things to explore and discover along the way.

Silent Hill 2 remake is also $70, even on Steam where most games are still just $60. Hopefully, each of those extra hours feels as meaningful as the rest and isn't just backtracking filler.
