- Silent Hill 2 Steam page was recently updated, suggesting a DLC announcement soon.
- The original game featured ‘Born From A Wish’ expansion which will likely be released as a DLC now.
- The expansion featured Maria and served as a prequel to the main game’s story.
The revival of the Silent Hill franchise is off to a strong start with the remake of the second game, which alone bumped developer studio Bloober Team’s profits by 680%. It also went on to become the fastest-selling entry in the franchise.
However, Bloober Team may not be done entirely with Silent Hill 2. The title’s Steam page was recently updated, implying that the ‘Born From A Wish’ DLC announcement is coming soon.
Why it matters: Silent Hill 2 was one of the biggest successes of last year. A DLC would persuade fans to revisit a modern-day iteration of one of the greatest games within the horror genre.
Born From A Wish was a prequel to Silent Hill 2’s story. The expansion was featured in the re-release of the original title, and despite being a short story, wasn’t featured in the main game. As such, fans expected it to be released in a DLC form sooner or later.
The expansion featured Maria as the lead, shortly before she met James. However, this extra chapter only lasted around 1-2 hours. Just like the main game, Bloober Team will likely expand the content for the DLC.
Silent Hill 2 is also a timely exclusive for PlayStation that will last around a year. An Xbox Series X|S version of the game is expected around October later this year, which would also be the perfect time for the DLC release.
Thanks to Silent Hill 2’s success, Bloober Team finally found its forte in the horror genre and has landed another partnership with Konami for an unannounced game. It would likely be another Silent Hill game, perhaps a remake of the first or the third title. Furthermore, the studio is also working on its original IP, Crono: The New Dawn.
