Silent Hill 5 marks the return of the series that has become one of the leading horror franchises in the
world, launching a number of hit entertainment products, including a successful and acclaimed motion
picture. The game follows Alex Shepherd, a war veteran returning home from an overseas tour of duty to
investigate the mysterious disappearance of his younger brother, Joshua. His travels will lead him
through the small, insular community of Shepherd’s Glen and eventually through the hauntingly empty
streets of Silent Hill.
Building upon the series’ trademark foundations of atmosphere, adventure and storytelling, Silent Hill 5
introduces players to a frightening new experience. When confronted by the perverse incarnations of evil
that roam Silent Hill and Shepherd’s Glen, players will be able to utilize an enhanced combat system and
execute a number of offensive and defensive maneuvers as they experience every terrifying encounter
with the game’s numerous nightmarish creatures. Players will also have to solve a variety of puzzles as
they progress through the highly atmospheric game world, using cues from the environment to unlock
Silent Hill’s darkest secrets. Continuing the series’ tradition of standout music and sound design, Silent
Hill 5 features an original soundtrack by famed composer Akira Yamaoka.
