Silent Hill 2 trailer confirms one year of PS5 exclusivity
Silent Hill 2The latest trailer confirms that the survival horror remake will be available exclusively for the PS5 console for a year.
If spotted by EurogamerBloober Team’s anticipated remake of the 2001 Konami classic is set to launch on October 8. It was previously announced that Silent Hill 2 was set to release exclusively on the PS5 console, but it was unclear whether it would become a permanent feature.
So far at least, thanks to the Silent Hill 2 ‘Immersion’ Trailer which has been released on the official PlayStation YouTube channel. The minute long trailer shows off some of Silent Hill 2 impressive environments and features, such as 4K visuals and immersive haptic feedback via the DualSense wireless controller. There will also be PlayStation 3D audio support and a dynamic light bar implementation that will keep a color-coded track of protagonist James Sunderland’s health.
However, the PlayStation 5 startup screen at the end of the trailer shows that Silent Hill 2 will not be available in other formats until August 10, 2025. That’s October 8, 2025; exactly one year after the game’s launch.
While Silent Hill 2 will be available on PC from day one, which effectively means it won’t be coming to Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S (or potentially even Nintendo Switch 2) until late 2025. And even then, we’d still recommend picking up the game on PS5 if you can, so you can take full advantage of those bespoke DualSense features like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback support.
If you’re curious, our own Dashiell Wood had the chance to interview developer Bloober Team about the Silent Hill 2 remake, saying, “We want to reinvent the original game and put our own Bloober spin on it.”
