Just earlier today,Konamireleased a brand new story-oriented trailer for Silent Hill 2 remake, which you can see in full just below. The trailer opens with protagonist James Sunderland’s wife, Maria, speaking to him from within a jail cell, and focuses on his other interactions with supporting characters within the titular town, including Eddie.

The trailer Lenart is referencing is the one seen just below, and watching the two side by side, they’re incredibly alike. The trailer opens with the same monologue from Maria, before cutting to James' found footage-style film of Maria within the hotel. The trailer even opens with the same few guitar notes, and later features James confronting Eddie about why he can’t kill people.

We just recently went hands-on with Konami and Bloober Team’s remake, and for more on why it’s looking more impressive than ever before, read up on our completeSilent Hill 2 remake preview.

At the same event,iconic Silent Hill 2 artist Masahiro Ito told us that he didn’t want to remake the horror classic, but he decided to cooperate to “make sure the core was preserved.”
