Silent Hill: Return Movie to Arrive in Early 2026, Alongside Updated Born From a Wish DLC

The long-awaited psychological horror film Silent Hill: Return is set to hit theaters in early 2026, marking a major comeback for one of gaming’s most iconic horror franchises. To build anticipation ahead of the movie’s debut, Konami is reportedly preparing to release an updated version of the classic “Born From a Wish” expansion for the Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Originally introduced as bonus content in the 2001 release, Born From a Wish tells a standalone story centered on Maria, a mysterious woman who finds herself drawn to the fog-covered town of Silent Hill. The narrative follows her exploration of Ernest Baldwin’s eerie mansion and serves as a haunting prelude to her eventual encounter with James Sunderland, the tragic protagonist of Silent Hill 2.

Industry insiders claim that an official announcement regarding Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 versions of the Silent Hill 2 Remake is on the horizon. Meanwhile, PlayStation 5 Pro owners can look forward to a new performance patch, which will reportedly address existing bugs and deliver several gameplay enhancements.

With both the film and game update arriving in close succession, 2026 is shaping up to be a thrilling year for fans eager to return to the mist-shrouded streets of Silent Hill.
