Silent Hill 2 drove Konami's games revenue up 32% by Q3

Last year's remake of the Silent Hill 2 helped boost Konami's video games revenue by 32 per cent for the nine months ending December 2024. 

The company's financials for this period show that this division brought in ¥228.9 billion ($1.4 billion) for the period, while profit shot up by 44.6 per cent to ¥80.8 billion ($521 million). That is over Konami's forecast of ¥80 billion in profit for the full financial year. 

The firm's Digital Entertainment – aka video games – arm was behind 73.6 per cent of the company's total revenue, up from 68.5 per cent for the nine months ending December 2023. 

Konami called out the Silent Hill 2 remake as contributing to its fiscal performance, noting that the survival horror title had shipped two million copies as of January 2025 since its launch in October 2024. 

The company's eFootball series has been downloaded over 800 million times, too.
