Konami Corrects Best Buy on Silent Hill 2 Remake Origins

Konami has addressed a misleading information issue regarding the Silent Hill 2 Remake. A Best Buy Canada listing suggested the inclusion of a special Pyramid Head origin story as a playable segment. However, Konami clarified that the retailer had incorrect facts, while not fully denying or confirming the possibility of an origin story. The Best Buy page has since been updated to correct the information.

Fans speculated over the listing, considering whether it referred to the existing "Born From a Wish" side story, canon to the original game, rather than an entirely new origin story. Bloober Team, the developer behind the remake, has insisted on staying true to the original story, causing further questions about the potential for new content. The Silent Hill franchise has seen recent criticisms, including dissatisfaction with the performance of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection and the monetization strategy of the interactive Silent Hill Ascension series.

Despite fan concerns, Bloober Team is committed to faithfully remaking the celebrated horror game, focusing on updated graphics and gameplay while preserving the story. Specific changes to the remake remain somewhat unclear, and a release date for Silent Hill 2 Remake has not been announced.
