Silent Hill 2 Listing Suggests Pyramid Head Is Getting a ‘Special Origin Story’

Many horror fans are eagerly awaiting Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2. However, a recent listing for the upcoming game has some worried about how it will handle the original game’s main antagonist.

This might be a misquote, though

According to a number of people who recently spotted the listing, Best Buy describes the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake as having a “special origin story for Pyramid Head.” This also suggests that fans will be able to “play” with them.

However, some are hoping that Best Buy’s description may not be what many think. A thread on Reddit shows that some believe this refers to “Born From a Wish”, a side story in which players control Maria.

In addition, a report of PCGamesN suggests this could be a misquote from Silent Hill 2 artist Masahiro Ito. The quote reads: “Pyramid Head returns…A new journey for those who know the original, and his origin story for those who know this character.” »

As such, it is possible that some may misread what the listing says. Regardless, this might cause more than a few fans to be a little wary of the remake, especially after the disappointment that was the recent Silent Hill: Ascension.

At the moment we do not have an official release date for Silent Hill 2but some believe it could be released in early 2024. It will be available on PS5 and PC and is developed in Unreal Engine 5.
