The buzz surrounding the Silent Hill 2 Remake continues to resonate throughout the gaming community, largely due to its evocative soundtrack. Renowned composer Akira Yamaoka has masterfully revisited the iconic score, and now fans can celebrate this auditory experience with a stunning six-disc vinyl edition priced at £125. For many enthusiasts, this collector’s item is a must-have, even if it stretches the budget a bit.
Enter the Silent Hill 2 Limited Edition Deluxe X6LP Boxset, crafted by Konami. This exquisite collection encapsulates the game’s haunting essence, featuring chilling artwork derived from Bloober Team’s concept designs on each inner sleeve. The transparent vinyl, uniquely designed with shades of “brown + red,” evokes a gothic charm that parallels the unsettling vibe of the game, reminding us of decay and beauty intertwined.
Spanning six discs, this set boasts an impressive total of 93 tracks, allowing listeners to immerse themselves deeply into the eerie soundscape of the remake. Standout pieces like Laura’s Theme – Repetition are bound to ensnare any player’s imagination. Additionally, the box includes a 32-page art book complete with insightful liner notes penned by Yamaoka, providing a glimpse into the creative process behind the haunting melodies.
For those who may prefer a more budget-friendly option, Laced Records offers two additional editions with fewer tracks. The Silent Hill 2 Double Deluxe Vinyl includes 27 essential tracks on two heavyweight black LPs, retailing at £36. Moreover, the Exclusive Edition Double Deluxe Vinyl mirrors this selection while featuring its own ethereal “milky clear” discs, offering a distinct aesthetic for collectors.
All three editions are set for release this October, encouraging fans to place their pre-orders now to avoid missing out on these remarkable collectibles!
If you haven’t had the chance to explore Bloober Team’s gripping Silent Hill 2 remake, you’re in for a treat; it recently garnered a five-star rating from Nova Play’s Vikki Blake and secured a prestigious spot as the fourth best game of 2024. This acclaim undoubtedly sets a promising stage for Bloober’s upcoming project, Cronos, which aims to craft a spine-tingling alternate history narrative set against the backdrop of 1980s Krakow.
