It's finally been confirmed that the Silent Hill 2 Remake will be exclusive to PlayStation 5 for one year.

According to a new "immersion" trailer that dropped yesterday, Bloober Team's highly-anticipated remake will become available on "other formats" on 8th October, 2025.

Whilst we've long known that the remake was a PC and PS5 console exclusive, we didn't know exactly how long that exclusivity period would be until now.

This latest trailer, embedded above, also showed off how the PS5 controller works to better immerse you in Silent Hill 2's grim world, including 4K graphics, 3D audio, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a dynamic lightbar that helps you track James' health status.

"In rebuilding such a beloved classic with upgraded visuals and controls, the new combat style fits in surprisingly well," Tom wrote in his excellent summary.
