After the rating in South Korea, he comes with his verdict above a remake of Silent Hill 2 also the North American agency ESRB. It's another piece of the puzzle that hints at an upcoming release of the action-horror game for PlayStation 5 and PC.
The novelty from the creators of Layers of Fear and The Medium received an age recommendation from 17 years. It is due to violence, blood, brutality and sexual innuendo. The ESRB describes some scenes as including characters being stabbed, characters being suffocated with a pillow, or enemies with body parts sewn together.
“This is a horror adventure game where players take on the role of a man who returns to a mysterious city and is haunted by his past. Players explore the town of Silent Hill from a third-person perspective, interacting with characters and fighting people and creatures (e.g. Pyramid Head, mannequins, monsters).” states the ESRB label,
“Players use pistols, shotguns, rifles and knives to kill enemies. Combat is highlighted by realistic gunshots, screams of pain and blood splatter effects. In some environments, large bloodstains and/or viscera/organs are visible on walls, floors, and surrounding bodies,” we will read further.
“Cutaways and illustrations show other instances of violence and/or blood and gore: figures stabbed; a figure suffocated by a pillow; enemies with body parts sewn together. The game contains suggestive/sexual material: characters dancing on a pole in a strip club; posters of women in revealing clothing (eg bras and thongs, plunging necklines); dialogues alluding to sexuality and/or sexual abuse/abuse,” supplied by the ESRB.
It was recently speculated that Silent Hill 2 Remake could be released in the coming months. Konami will probably want to release the game before the summer holidays and avoid the fall, which is regularly richer for games.
