Rumors are spreading that some players have received leaked copies of the Silent Hill 2 remake. The news comes ahead of the game's official release.
This comes after a particular user on Reddit shared a photo of their physical copy of the Silent Hill 2 remake on the Silent Hill subreddit. What is important to note here is that the copy arrived incredibly early.
Silent Hill 2 Remake
The game is scheduled to launch on Oct. 8, 2024, which is more than a week away. The Reddit user who shared their physical copy said that they got lucky because UK retailer GAME accidentally sent their copy earlier than scheduled.
The user also does not seem to have shared any spoilers about the game just yet. However, this particular user does not seem to be the only one who got their Silent Hill 2 remake copy early, according to VG247.
The main question right now is whether or not any spoilers will make their way online. This would be particularly disappointing for a lot of people who will be playing the game for the first time. It would not really affect those who already dove into the original game.
This means that you might want to be careful going online searching for Silent Hill 2 information until you can play your own game.
This is especially true for those who are waiting for a non-PlayStation 5 version. The game is believed to be exclusive for at least a year.
Another user who got their Silent Hill 2 remake copy early also shared more details about their progress in the game. Screenshots that they shared showed their playtime and their current location in the game, Comic Book said.
Early Copies
The images showed that the user already had 39% completion on their game after spending eight hours in the Silent Hill 2 remake. This would support creative director Mateusz Lenart's previous claims.
These were that the game will take players roughly 16 to 18 hours to complete for a full run. Fans are more often than not skeptical of developers' estimates regarding their games' lengths. However, the remake does seem to be about twice as long as the original title.
The images also showed some content where James is facing off against one of the horrific nurses in Brookhaven Hospital.
The estimated play time raised the question of what the developers added to make the remake roughly twice the length of the original, according to CBR.
