The remake of Silent Hill 2 will be a console exclusive for PlayStation 5 for at least a year, as revealed in a new trailer. The trailer, titled the 'Immersion Trailer,' showcases various locations within the Silent Hill 2 remake and details how the PS5's DualSense features enhance the gameplay experience. Players can feel the controller's haptic feedback when using close-range weapons against enemies, and the adaptive triggers provide resistance when firing firearms. The controller's light bar changes colors to reflect the player's HP status. Given that Silent Hill 2 is a horror game, the PS5's 3D audio is also emphasized. The trailer concludes by stating that the game is a PS5 console exclusive, with small text at the bottom noting, 'Also available on PC. Not available on other formats until 10.8.2025.' This implies that it will be at least a year before Silent Hill 2 is released on other platforms such as Xbox, and potentially the successor to the Switch. Silent Hill 2 is set to launch on October 8 for both PC and PS5. In GameSpot's preview of the Silent Hill 2 remake, it was noted, '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.'
