Starting another playthrough in the New Game Plus mode of Silent Hill 2 Remake is the only way to get the other endings and unlock a special weapon.

The UFO Ending is one of the joke secret endings found in Silent Hill 2, and here's just how to unlock it for the remake.

The plot of Silent Hill 2 centers on James Sunderland, a man still reeling from the loss of his wife, Mary, who passed away three years ago. Out of nowhere, James receives a mysterious letter from Mary herself, claiming that she’s waiting for him in their "special place" — a spot in the quiet town of Silent Hill where they once vacationed.

The Silent Hill 2 remake doesnt change a lot. It maintains its most iconic elements where they count, creating an authentic atmosphere.

The Silent Hill 2 endings have many requirements, so here’s how to unlock the good, bad, and joke endings, plus the remake’s new endings.

Silent Hill 2 is full of layers upon layers of symbolism and imagery, and the remake doesn't peel any of these layers away. If anything, more is added, significantly improving the story that unfolds. The characters are much more memorable and engaging, even the problematic Eddie (who has a much more fun boss fight).

Protecting Maria and moving on from Mary are the basic requirements of getting this ending. Rather than James giving up on life, this is the start of a new one in Silent Hill 2, and the subtle ending teases Maria will suffer the same fate as Mary with an impending illness.

Few things are as great in nerd culture as a good fan theory, especially when all the evidence lines up. Such is the case with Silent Hill 2 Remake, as one fan has crafted an interesting analysis of the game also being a "remake" for James.
