This Silent Hill remake with Unreal Engine 5 is jaw-dropping, and very spooky

While you’re waiting for the Silent Hill 2 remake for the PlayStation 5, you need to see this Unreal Engine 5 remake of Silent Hill 4.

Unreal Engine 5 is a remarkable thing, it can make games from 20 years ago look like ground-breaking new releases so it’s no wonder why upcoming games like Cyberpunk 2 are using it in their development.

If you want to see a perfect example of what Unreal Engine 5 can do for games you should look no further than this remake of Silent Hill 4 by YouTuber Maxim Dorokhov. The remake is a recreation of Henry Townshend’s apartment, the protagonist's home that you start the game in.

It’s a stunning recreation, and adds so much more detail to the various furnishings found in the room. You can even take a peek through the window to the outside world, which looks horribly decrepit in the best way possible. Unfortunately the remake doesn’t go any further than the apartment itself, but it gives a great impression of what an official remake could look like.

Speaking of official remakes, the Silent Hill 2 remake is due for release sometime this year. It’ll be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 and PC, sorry Xbox fans, and will also be using the power of Unreal Engine 5. Unfortunately there isn’t a release date yet but if PlayStation hosts another showcase later this year, we’ll likely receive a date then.

Back to the Silent Hill 4 remake though, if you’re hoping to try out the demo for yourself you’re out of luck. The creator has neglected to share what specs were used and hasn’t made the demo public to download.

Regardless it’s still a great bit of insight into what future remakes could look like using Unreal Engine 5.
