Silent Hill 2 PS5 PlayStation

A PS2 game released in 2001, if you've played the original Silent Hill 2, chances are you're no spring chicken. That said, there are many, many new prospective fans in the world, and it is to those impressionable innocents we direct this warning: Bloober Team's imminent remake appears to have broken street date, with physical copies popping up, along with gameplay and story spoilers, in the wild.

A PSA we first saw raised by Eurogamer, over on Reddit, images of Konami's glorious discs have begun to emerge a full week early, allegedly purchased ahead of the game's official release on 8th October on PS5. Considered one of the very best horror games ever made, Silent Hill 2 is the first game (but certainly not the last) this scribe can remember being too scared to play, and we'd hate for some of its spookier moments to be spoiled.

Are you looking forward to Silent Hill 2's official release date? Will you dive in for the first time, or are you an old sinner? Let us know in the comments section below.
