A dedicated fan of the “Silent Hill” series highlights an intriguing hidden reference to the “Silent Hill 2 Remake” within the 2024 horror game titled “Beyond Hanwell”. This subtle nod might elude those unfamiliar with the franchise. The “Silent Hill 2 Remake” was launched by Bloober Team and Konami in October 2024, as a modern adaptation of the original 2001 game developed by Team Silent. The plot revolves around the protagonist, James Sunderland, who ventures into the haunting town of Silent Hill in search of his late wife.

The “Silent Hill 2 Remake” was launched on PlayStation 5 and PC, earning universal acclaim from the horror community and numerous awards and nominations. This title is part of a small group of successful revivals, such as Capcom’s remake projects for the “Resident Evil” series. Given that the “Silent Hill” franchise has several primary games and spin-offs, there’s speculation within the community about additional remakes potentially being approved to work alongside upcoming projects like “Silent Hill f” and “Townfall”. Enthusiasts of “Silent Hill” are hoping that a remake for the first game might be developed before the third installment.

On the Silent Hill subreddit, a post by jonhammerwhu shared an in-game email from Beyond Hanwell. The sender, Nathan Seedhouse, mentions that Team Bleeber (a playful name for Bloober Team with Quiet Hill standing in for Silent Hill) has yet to announce the release date of the Quiet Hill 2 Remake. The email hints at the game’s potential success, stating “It’s going to be huge,” as Beyond Hanwell was released prior to Bloober’s title. The Silent Hill 2 Remake is known for its numerous Easter eggs and hidden secrets, making it exciting to see another horror game incorporate a similar nod for fans to uncover in their gameplay.
