Those looking forward to Bloober Team's remake of Silent Hill 2 may want to brace for jump scares as basically the entire game has now leaked online.
While Silent Hill 2 originally launched 23 years ago and Bloober Team has vowed not to change the story, there's perhaps not as much risk for spoilers as brand new games. But plenty of players will be experiencing the survival horror classic for the first time through the remake, and Silent Hill 2 plot points will be appearing on social media instead of just in wikis and playthroughs.
Some fans have already received the game ahead of its October 8 release date, with physical copies seemingly shipped early once again proving the cause. Others, like Luke76bg on ResetEra, posted a screenshot of someone with 39% completion already logged on their PlayStation 5.
The Silent Hill 2 remake is exclusive to Sony's console for one year though will also launch on PC next week thanks to Bloober Team convincing publisher Konami. Xbox players will have to wait, however, and it's perhaps unlikely to come to Nintendo Switch at all.
Konami previously released the first 90 minutes of gameplay through the 2BRO YouTube channel, and while the commentary is in Japanese the gameplay itself is in English, it introduces protagonist James Sunderland as he comes across the ever so spooky town of Silent Hill and all the nastiness one would expect from a survival horror title.
The first 90 minutes cover just under 10% of Silent Hill 2 according to Bloober Team's own estimates, as it said players could complete it in "around 16 to 18 hours."
