Attention, friends – Silent Hill 2The shiny new remake has passed its release date, and massive gameplay videos – including lengthy streams – have started to surface online.

While those who pre-order the digital deluxe edition of Silent Hill 2 can expect to dive into the freshly remade horror classic two days before its general release date on October 8, gamers certainly weren’t supposed to be able to get started so early. However, social media posts tell a different story, with some claiming to have received physical copies days before they were supposed to.

Needless to say, anyone wanting to go into the remake completely blind may need to be careful watching Reddit and Twitter as more and more footage begins to be shared. In fact, on the last day, hours gameplay was released on YouTube. Of course, this might bother some more than others – after all, we’re dealing with a remake of a 23-year-old game, so some are already very familiar with its plot. That’s not the case for everyone, as Bloober Team’s revival will undoubtedly appeal to horror fans who never experienced the original.

As for what everyone can expect from the horror remake when it (properly) launches this month, developer Bloober Team has confirmed that we’ll be able to disable all UI elements for “the most immersive way to play”, allowing us to rely on visual and audio cues to guide our path. There’s also a “90s filter”, complete with screen adjustments, color correction and a grain effect to help the remake get a little more of its classic look (even if the original isn’t actually came out in the 90s in the first place). .

We’ll just have to wait and see if the 2024 version has what it takes to become one of the best Silent Hill gamesbut we were pleasantly surprised by our Silent Hill 2 Remake Preview.
