According to Silent Hill 2 lore, these enemies stem from the protagonist's psyche, their vague forms reflecting his attempt to suppress certain memories. While the Bubble Head Nurse is terrifying due to its humanoid appearance, the Mannequins are iconic for their leg-on-leg design. Additionally, a scene where Pyramid Head interacts with the Mannequins holds a special place in fans' memories.

Speaking of Silent Hill's Pyramid Head, the trailer offers a glimpse of the franchise's most renowned monster. Regrettably, the footage cuts off before providing a detailed view of the creature. Fans are also eager to witness how these creatures will populate the world of Silent Hill upon the game's release. The intricate details of each enemy's appearance may shed light on their terrifying designs in this new HD environment.

Several scenes in the trailer hint at pivotal moments and locations within the game, prompting fans to question the extent of faithfulness in the Silent Hill 2 remake. With minimal details available, it is hoped that the gameplay trailer marks the beginning of numerous forthcoming updates about the title, which is anticipated to reveal its release date in the near future.
