P.Tis easily one of the greatest horror games that never existed. So, who better than the master of the macabre, Guillermo Del Toro, to campaign for its re-release.
I refuse to believe that any gamer doesn’t know whatP.Tis – even those who label themselves as scaredy cats know this game had tension, scares, and puzzles. It was a psychological horror that stayed with players long after they “finished” it.
Hold onto hope with theSilent Hill 2remake trailer!

Konami removed it from thePlayStationstore, and basically made it nigh on impossible for fans to replay the game. To say fans were devastated is an understatement. Now, nine years later, we’re still mourning the death of what could have been. Reddit users came together to share in their grief, collectively agreeing thatit still hurts, and the pain is all too real.
Clearly, considering Del Toro, one of the creatives that collaborated on the development of the game (technically it was a demo, but it feels wrong to say it), is still desperate to see it make a comeback.
In response to a The Game Awards’ tweet that drew attention to the nine year anniversary ofP.T, Del Tororeplied: “Ah… Konami… What sayeth thou? Irrumabo Konamitus.”

Words were not minced, and for good reason. Since that first look atP.T,countless games have attempted to capture its essence, with the majority always falling short. None have managed to get the tone just right, which serves to make this situation all the more bitter-sweet.
Of course, there are devs attempting to revitalise the Silent Hill franchise, like Bloober Team, who promise theSilent Hill 2remake will be 100% bigger. Consequently, the possibility thatP.Twill return isn’t completely dead in the water. However, it’s nothing more than a dream your heart makes… when you long to get scared half to death one more time.
We don’t know what the future holds, but what we do know is that Del Toro isn’t going to give up. And why should he?P.Tis a symbol of hope to horror lovers everywhere – it must live on, and it will, one way or another.
