Silent Hill 2 Remake has already been confirmed to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive as well as on PC, but officially, it has been confirmed not to be on ‘other formats’ until 10.08.2025. The release date for Silent Hill 2 is just around the corner. It will be released on 8 October, just in time for Halloween. Whether this means that it’s confirmed that Silent Hill 2 will be available on Xbox in the future remains to be seen in 2025, with the possibility it will also be released on the Nintendo Switch successor, should the console be powerful enough.
At the moment, it hasn’t been confirmed whether the game will be given any new sparkly features for the PlayStation 5 Pro or whether it will even be added.
A new trailer for Silent Hill 2 has also been released, giving players another glimpse into the game. For those using a DualSense controller, Haptic Feedback will mimic every impact with a melee weapon, and Adaptive Triggers will offer resistance with the Shotgun.
The horror game will also have 3D audio support, which is perfect if you plan on using a headset to immerse yourself in the game. The sound is also available on TV speakers and analog/USB stereo headphones, so it isn’t required to have the Pulse 3D Wireless headphones for the PlayStation 5, especially if you’re playing the game on PC instead. 4K resolution will also be supported for those that have the relevant display, giving more of a movie-style feel to the game as well as deeper immersion and visual quality.
One of the cooler features is the DualSense Lightbar, which turns red if you need healing and stays green if you are in full health.
There are plenty of features coming to the updated version of Silent Hill 2 to make the game more accessible to those who want to play it. Whether you’re a returning player to the franchise or just getting stuck in, there are features that can enhance your time in the game, such as the capability to turn of the UI or activate the 90s filter so that it feels just like the classic game.
Although the remake is shaping up to be rather faithful to the original, there will be some extra features, like new exploration and new puzzles to solve. However, the original leads have returned to the remake, so it’s bound to be good if Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka are actively involved.
