Silent Hill 2 Remake Will Be a PlayStation Exclusive for One Year

The game is also coming to PC, but those with other consoles will have to wait.

According to the game’s latest trailer, the remake of Silent Hill 2 will be a PlayStation console exclusive for at least a year after its October 8 release. Konami’s title could arrive on other platforms after the same date in 2025, though no concrete plans have been revealed at the time of writing.

The upcoming remake will take full advantage of the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller, using haptic feedback to make the title even more gruesome than before. Silent Hill 2 The remake will support 3D audio and adaptive triggers.

Last month, Bloober Creative Director Mateusz Lenart and Senior Producer Maciej Głomb spoke with Rock Paper Shotgun, explaining why Silent Hill 2 received the remake treatment before the original game.

“I think Silent Hill 2 “It’s just much closer to our DNA,” Lenart said. “It’s much more emotional, a much more personal story than, say, the first or third game. And at Bloober, we’ve always been fans of telling personal stories about people’s experiences, people’s feelings and how they go through them. Not so much about the occult and otherworldly things, right? So I think that was the main reason.”

The second game in the series attempted to move away from the more supernatural roots of the original title, fitting more closely into Bloober’s wheelhouse.

“It was the best game for us as Bloober Team, in terms of our DNA and the games we’ve made and have made before,” Glomb agreed.

“We were very happy to make this version of the game, simply because it matched our feelings. Even in our previous games, we were so inspired by Silent Hill 2 in more specific aspects – in Layers of Fearwhich is a completely different game, but having these different endings, it was inspired by Silent Hill 2. Having these little things during the game where we don’t tell you that it’s going to lead to a different ending.

The remake of the legendary second game in the terrifying series will be released on PC and PlayStation 5 on October 8, 2024.
