Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game will stay close to its source material while still expanding on elements such as the map and gameplay. The character models have also been given a refresh, such that they look suitable for the current gaming landscape while still retaining features that made them popular and stand out back in 2001. The minimum and recommended PC specifications for Silent Hill 2's remake are available as well, so there's no uncertainty regarding whether one can run it.

Should players opt to purchase the deluxe version of the game, it will be unlocked and playable two days early on October 6.
