Curator Notes
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is not a Team Silent sequel in the ordinary numbered sense. Climax Studios rebuilt the first game’s premise for a later hardware moment — psychological profiling, iced environments, and a structure that argues with memory rather than fog alone. The Wii release came first; the North American PlayStation 2 edition (SLUS-21899) followed in January 2010.
The archive keeps the PS2 disc because that is the optical form held here, and because the series authority must be able to hold both Team Silent’s numbered entries and later licensed reimaginings without collapsing them into one studio story.
This filing sits beside Silent Hill, Silent Hill 2–4, and the rest of the Konami lineage as another concrete object — not as a substitute for the 1999 beginning, and not as a ranking against it.
Collection Documentation
Acquired in August 2026 while expanding the PlayStation 2 physical shelf.
The retained copy is the North American PlayStation 2 edition published by Konami (SLUS-21899). It remains complete in box with manual and cover insert, and is kept as the reference copy for this filing.
Dedicated artifact views of the individual copy have not yet been filed; the gallery below is held open for that documentation.
Preservation Notes

- Original Hardware
- Sony PlayStation 2 · NTSC-U/C
- Playback Compatibility
- Pressed for North American PlayStation 2 consoles. The retained disc remains the primary access copy for this edition.
- Preservation Concerns
- Optical-disc aging and surface damage remain the principal risks. The disc is stored upright in its original case under stable, dry conditions; printed materials remain housed with the copy.
- Edition History
- First released for Wii in December 2009. The North American PlayStation 2 edition followed on January 19, 2010 (SLUS-21899), with contemporary PSP and later regional releases as neighboring editions.
- Access Status
- The original physical edition is out of print and circulates through the secondary market. No current digital edition replaces this North American PlayStation 2 reference copy.
