Silent Hill 2, the 2024 remake of the iconic 2001 survival horror classic by Bloober Team and Konami, brings players back to the fog-covered town of Silent Hill. Players once again follow James Sunderland, who returns after receiving a mysterious letter from his deceased wife. The remake, available on PS5, modernizes visuals while preserving the emotional storytelling of the original.
Similarly, Until Dawn (2024)—a remake of Supermassive Games’ 2015 interactive drama—reimagines the branching survival horror adventure where eight young adults struggle to survive on Blackwood Mountain. The updated version includes enhanced visuals, performance improvements, and refined choice-based gameplay.
Action and RPG Favorites Return
Fans of Japanese RPGs can now experience Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the 2020 turn-based reboot of the beloved Yakuza series. Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, it follows Ichiban Kasuga, a loyal yakuza betrayed by his boss, on a quest for redemption and truth.
For players craving dark fantasy, V Rising brings a fresh dose of action RPG gameplay. Developed by Stunlock Studios, this vampire-themed survival title lets players awaken as a vampire, rebuild their castle, and battle across five biomes in a dynamic open world—now available on PS5.
