Earlier this month, rumors began circulating about the Silent Hill 2 remake. Best Buy's description for the game added language that indicated it would feature a new origin for the villain Pyramid Head, which set off a lot of speculation among fans. However, in a statement provided to Eurogamer, Konami has now noted that the listing contained "incorrect information." Best Buy's listing has since been updated, and the original line "fan-favourite character, Pyramid Head, makes a return along with a special origin story for fans to play through," has been removed.

News of a Pyramid Head origin was met with a lot of frustration from fans. Without getting into spoilers about the story of Silent Hill 2, it simply wouldn't have made sense to dive deeper into the character's background. The rumor quickly spread throughout social media, and resulted in a lot of skepticism about the Silent Hill 2 remake. Thankfully, it seems this listing wasn't accurate in the first place, and that should lead to something of a sigh of relief for fans.

I'm not saying it was aliens working with a Shiba Inu, but it was aliens working with a Shiba Inu.

Knew nothing about this but good, there's no need to explain how it came to be. I'm beyond done with videogames trying to explain everything.

I'm guessing the "special origin story" isn't actually Pyramid Head's origin story and the wording on the listing was just dumb.

yea, hopefully they meant the "Born from a Wish" side-story, which would be cool.

The mansion that most of the expansion takes place in is owned by a man that sets maria on a fetch quest to bring back materials used to bring the dead back to life. He hides in a room and refuses to let you see him until you finish his request.

Turns out the owners daughter fell out of a window and died and it caused him to become a recluse that was obsessed with bringing her back.

At the end of it, you visit the attic where she fell and died, and get to hear her ghost tell you to bring a birthday present to her dad.

After you do all the fetching and go to bring him the present, he opens the door and it is revealed that HE was also a ghost the entire time.

When you finally exit the mansion, you see the note

Guys, this is Konami. I'm more likely to believe they removed the description because they carved that part out to be dlc, not that Best Buy got it wrong.

Damage control to keep those PS5 preorders in the top 10.

I wasn't aware Konami has a reputation for aggressive DLC

Modern Konami is constantly experimenting with weird monetization schemes. They did some free to play mobile game castlevania with like level DLC. They did nft's. And then of course there's all the pachinko machines.

It's less that they're known specifically for aggressive DLC and more that I don't trust them to not try and squeeze every dollar out of silent Hill right now.
