There are still a few days left until the grand launch of Silent Hill 2 Remake, but the time to pre-order shrinks with each passing hour.

So let’s answer that one burning question – which edition should you buy?

Silent Hill 2 (2024) launches on October 8 to spoil us with refined graphics, sinister secrets, double gameplay time, and (hopefully!) new endings.

Like most significant releases, the game comes with exciting extras within two available versions. Which one will best meet your horror expectations?

Silent Hill 2 Remake Standard Edition

  • Base Game ✔
  • Mira the Dog Mask (pre-order bonus) ✔
  • Robbie the Rabbit Mask (PS5-only, pre-order bonus) ✔
  • No Deluxe Extras ✘

Silent Hill 2 Remake Deluxe Edition

  • Base Game ✔
  • Digital Soundtrack ✔
  • Digital Artbook ✔
  • Pizza Box Pyramid Head Mask ✔
  • Mira the Dog Mask ✔
  • Robbie the Rabbit Mask (PS5-only) ✔
  • 48-hour Early Access ✔

Silent Hill 2 Remake Standard Edition

Those who decide to purchase the title on release day or later as part of this edition will receive the base game only.

However, players who pre-order the product can count on an exciting digital extra — Mira the Dog Mask to wear in-game — a subtle nod to SH2’s original version. The situation looks different for PlayStation 5 players, who can enjoy an additional digital exclusive – Robbie the Rabbit Mask.

Silent Hill 2 Deluxe Edition

Things spice up for those who decide to get this edition. On the release day, it comes with the base game, Digital Soundtrack, Digital Artbook, and a digital Pizza Box Pyramid Head Mask for James to wear in the game.

What if you preorder this edition? In such a case, you will get all the extras of other editions and one more, together making up:

  • Base Game
  • Digital Artbook
  • Digital Soundtrack
  • Pizza Box Pyramid Head Mask
  • Mira the Dog Mask
  • Robbie the Rabbit Mask (PS5-only)
  • 48-hour Early Access

Conclusion – Which Edition is Right for You?

This decision boils down to what you expect from the upcoming remake. The Standard Edition is perfect if all you want from this launch is the classic Silent Hill 2 experience (with some extras if pre-ordered).

How about Deluxe Edition? We recommend pre-ordering that version, which includes exciting 48-hour Early Access and all the extras. But whatever Silent Hill 2 editions you pick, rest assured this Halloween will be one of the best ever!
