How peculiar… I wonder if it's gonna come with Born From A Wish like the original Xbox release did…

The game’s details via the publisher:

Having received a letter from his deceased wife, James heads to where they shared so many memories, in the hope of seeing her one more time: Silent Hill. There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her…

“My name…is Maria,” the woman smiles. Her face, her voice… She’s just like her.
