The remake of Silent Hill 2 will be a console exclusive for PlayStation 5 for at least year, according to a new trailer.
The new trailer, dubbed the “Immersion Trailer” shows various locations in the Silent Hill 2 remake and provides details about how the PS5’s DualSense features help players get immersed in the gameplay. The controller’s haptic feedback can be felt when hitting enemies with close-range weapons, and the adaptive triggers give off resistance when shooting with firearms. The controller’s lightbar are changes colors depending on the status of the player’s HP. Since Silent Hill 2 is a horror game, the PS5’s 3D audio is also highlighted.
The end of the trailer says that the game is a PS5 console exclusive, but in small text at the bottom reads, “Also available on PC. Not available on other formats until 10.8.2025.” This means that it’ll be at least a year from release until Silent Hill 2 can be released on other platforms like Xbox, and possibly even the Switch successor when it eventually comes out.
Silent Hill 2 launches on October 8 for PC and PS5. In GameSpot’s Silent Hill 2 remake preview, we said, “After spending about three hours with Silent Hill 2 Remake, I feel confident the puzzle-driven horror game will honor the original’s tones and excite old fans while also creating plenty of new ones.”
