PSA: Silent Hill 2 Remake spoilers have leaked online

Those looking forward to Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake may want to brace themselves for jump scares, as essentially the entire game has now been leaked online.

Although Silent Hill 2 originally launched 23 years ago and the Bloober team has promised not to change the story, there may not be as much risk of spoilers as with brand new games. But many players will experience the survival horror classic for the first time through the remake, and Silent Hill 2’s plot points will appear on social media rather than just on wikis and playthroughs.

Some fans have already received the game ahead of the October 8 release date, with physical copies seemingly shipping early, further proving the cause. Others, like Luke76bg on ResetEra, posted a screenshot of someone with a 39% completion rate who was already logged into their PlayStation 5.

The remake of Silent Hill 2 will be exclusive to the Sony console for a year, but will also be released on PC next week thanks to Bloober Team’s convincing publisher Konami. Xbox players will have to wait, though, and it may be unlikely to come to Nintendo Switch at all.

Konami previously released the first 90 minutes of gameplay via the 2BRO YouTube channel, and while the commentary is in Japanese, the gameplay itself is in English. It introduces protagonist James Sunderland as he encounters the ever-so-creepy town of Silent Hill and all the nastiness you’d expect from a survival horror title.

The first 90 minutes comprise just under 10% of Silent Hill 2 by Bloober Team’s own estimates, as players could complete it in “approximately 16 to 18 hours”.
