Quick Links
TheSilent Hill 2 Remakeincludes all the original version’s endings. There are six endings, separated into those accessible during an initial playthrough and others seen while in New Game Plus Mode. Many requirements are mutually exclusive, so you may need to make several saves to see all endings as early as possible. Alternatively, you could play the entire game many times to fully experience these varying routes.
WhileSilent Hill 2 Remakehas the endings of the 2001 PlayStation 2 original, itdoes not includeSH2’s bonus contentmade for Xbox and PC. Those versions had the ability to play as Maria in a scenario calledBorn From A Wish. Whether these will come out as DLC or be omitted forever is unclear. Another recent remake,Persona 3 Reload, left out dungeons and bundled it asThe Answer. This leaves a precedent for remakes and remasters to roll out features later.

Should Bloober Team make the next Silent Hill after Silent Hill 2’s remake?
After years of waiting, the Silent HIll 2 remake from Bloober Team has finally arrived and left critics and users floored by the magnificence the Polish developer has achieved in updating the iconic survival horror game for a modern aesthetic. Many have already taken to looking at the future of the franchise, sharing their hopes for Bloober Team to develop the next Silent Hill game and have it be an original entry in the series. Despite some of my reservations ahead of the new game’s release, the remake has given me the utmost confidence that Konami should consider reteaming with Bloober, as they seem to have a proper grasp on how to create an atmospheric ode to the past while tweaking things just enough to keep it feeling fresh.
Unlike the other endings, this one is seen by finding two specific items and using them to unlock a single room in Silent Hill. These aretwo Broken Keys. The first is at thePet Center Storein East South Vale. The other isinside a dog houseon Katz Street in West South Vale. Combine both in your inventory. Then, go to Lakeview Hotel and use the full key to unlock theObservation Room.
How to Unlock The UFO Ending
The UFO ending is probably the most bizarre aspect ofSilent Hill 2 Remake. Once again, it is unlocked by finding specific items and going to the Lakeview Hotel. This starts by finding the Blue Gem at the Jewelers near the Pet Center, making it possible to start both the Dog and UFO simultaneously. You then need to use the gem from your inventory at three locations in any order, followed by the final one in Lakeview Room 312.
