The Silent Hill 2 remake probably isn't getting the long-rumored Born from a Wish DLC anytime soon, as Maria's voice actor confirms "we have not recorded anything"
"I've been waiting for Konami to say something... I even asked Bloober"

Rumors of the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober and Konami finally getting its own version of Born from a Wish, a second storyline that follows Maria instead of James, have circulated the web recently – but they probably aren't true.
Salóme Gunnarsdóttir, the talented voice actor behind Mary and Maria, seems to confirm as much in her recent stream of a Silent Hill 2 playthrough on Twitch. "I'm not going to announce any Born from a Wish thing," she admits. "I've been waiting for Konami to say something... I even asked Bloober if they were going to say something, but we have not recorded anything for Born from a Wish – I am so sorry."

The actor goes on, revealing that she's unaware of any development on Born from a Wish, and she apologizes once more. "I don't know anything else," states Gunnarsdóttir, "I just know that I haven't recorded any material for it, so I'm sorry."
Unsurprisingly, her words have come as a bit of a blow to the Silent Hill community – after all, rumors and supposed "leaks" of a Born from a Wish DLC being in the works have been making rounds online.
For anyone unfamiliar with the original Silent Hill 2, Born from a Wish came later as part of a future extended version, offering a bonus scenario in which players control Maria. There hasn't been any word from Bloober or Konami on the possibility of Born from a Wish coming as DLC for the remake, however, but that hasn't stopped the hearsay. Gunnarsdóttir's stream isn't all doom and gloom, though – she shares some fun facts about production, too.

In a clip from her gameplay, the actor can be seen discussing her motion capture work as one of James' monsters – the eerie, humanoid Lying Figure. "I did this, the movement of the Lying Figure there. I did the mocap for that, and fell onto a mat, on a gymnastics floor… but they definitely made it better in post [processing]." Gunnarsdóttir laughs, recalling the "massive chunky heels" she wore.
Her full stream is worth a watch by any hardened Silent Hill stan – whether you're looking for news or perhaps some behind-the-scenes knowledge of the sequel remake's development, Gunnarsdóttir offers quite a bit of insight while playing.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
