Go Around the Bend Again With New Game Plus in Silent Hill 2

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the New Game Plus mode in Silent Hill 2 Remake is a refreshing twist for horror fans like myself. Unlike other games where you get to carry over your progress and power up your character, this remake offers something unique – additional filters, items, and endings that are only accessible in New Game Plus.

If you’ve got the courage to explore the eerie streets of Silent Hill 2 Remake once, you can tackle it again with New Game Plus. One pass isn’t enough to fully grasp the story and unravel its mysteries. A second playthrough makes it simpler to unearth everything hidden. Let me explain how the New Game Plus feature functions!

How to Unlock New Game Plus in Silent Hill 2 Remake

To access the New Game Plus mode, you need to complete the Silent Hill 2 Remake completely once. The ending you get or the difficulty level you choose doesn’t matter. As long as you finish the game from start to end in your initial playthrough, the feature becomes available for a subsequent playthrough.

After completing the end credits, move on to the primary menu. From there, choose “New Game” option. You can then begin a regular gameplay or a fresh experience with the newly available New Game Plus.

Later on, make sure to choose your save file with caution. The New Game Plus file will be identified as such, whereas a regular gameplay session won’t have a descriptive title like that in its filename.

What’s Different in Silent Hill 2’s New Game Plus Mode?

In most video games, New Game Plus typically boosts the power of the player’s character by keeping their abilities and equipment or offering unlimited ammo. However, this isn’t true for Silent Hill 2. Instead, New Game Plus provides access to extra filters, items, and exclusive endings that can only be achieved in this mode.

As a thrilled player, I’m excited to let you know that my gaming experience will be enriched with a collection of goodies! I’ll get a dozen items, including ten filters, eight different endings, and one brand-new weapon. The Chainsaw, oh boy, it’s a blast to wield! It’s incredibly powerful, but there’s a catch – it can sometimes disrupt the game balance.

I’m sorry, but you won’t be able to bring any of your existing equipment, such as weapons and ammo. Essentially, you’ll have to begin anew with what you have at hand.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t contain my excitement about the upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake. However, it seems that for the next year, this masterpiece will be exclusive to PlayStation 5, leaving me and many other Xbox Series X|S enthusiasts twiddling our thumbs in anticipation!
