Potential Insights from PS Plus' Classics Catalog
Original Silent Hill 2's Inclusion May Hint at Showcase Appearance
Silent Hill 2, a 2001 survival horror game for PlayStation 2, is revered as one of the greatest games ever. The 2022 announcement of its remake during the Silent Hill Transmission event indicated a slated 2024 release. As we progress through 2024, the remake's launch looms closer. Despite lacking an official reveal for the remake scheduled this year, recent murmurs hint at its unveiling during the upcoming PlayStation showcase. The addition of the original Silent Hill 2 (or even the first Silent Hill) to the Classics Catalog could solidify these rumors, as past additions in PS Plus have foretold future releases.
Potential Addition of Original Metal Gear Solid 3 in Classics Catalog as a Precursor to Its Reveal
Released in 2004, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is an acclaimed action-adventure stealth game and the fifth in the Metal Gear Solid series. Serving as a prequel to the franchise, it remains a fan favorite. The game is set to receive a remake titled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, slated for a 2024 debut. If the original Metal Gear Solid 3 surfaces in the PS Plus Classics Catalog, it could signify the remake's imminent reveal during the PlayStation showcase. Fans eagerly await news if any classic Metal Gear titles are added.
While the showcase's exact timing remains uncertain, expectations lean towards a reveal before June, potentially heralding long-awaited announcements on Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 remakes.
