Silent Hill 4: The Room is now officially available on PC from GOG. News of the surprise re-release of the survival horror came shortly after a PEGI rating for the game emerged. GOG confirmed the addition of the game on Twitter saying, "It's time to Enter The Room." 

The re-release also includes new environments including an "otherworldly forest and grisly prison" and has full controller support. It really is a great time to play this horror given that we're just entering the Halloween season.

As well as Snake's return to the platform, the Konami Collector's Series: Castlevania and Contra also got a re-release on PC at the same time. The collection includes Castlevania, Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, and Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse, along with Contra and Super C. 

Silent Hill 4: The Room first released back in 2004, and originally released on PC, PS2, and Xbox. The fourth installment in the Silent Hill series sees you play as Henry Townsend who finds himself trapped in his own apartment. With no way out, and plagued by nightmares, Henry ends up exploring strange supernatural worlds where he begins to learn of a serial killer. 

Outside of Konami, we've also seen some other classics re-emerge on PC recently, with the surprise launch of the cult classic shooter, Freedom Fighters. First released back in 2003 on PC, Xbox, PS2, and GameCube, the game also came to GOG.
