Summary
- Silent Hill fans have long assumed that the series takes place in Maine, and there's a mountain of evidence.
- But there's never been concrete confirmation in the games themselves until now.
- A newspaper dispenser in the Silent Hill 2 remake dishes out "Maine News", finally putting the debate to bed after 25 years.
The new 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team finally confirms t🦩hat thꩵe series is set in Maine.
What's The Proof?
As broken down by , players have been trying to work out where the titular town is located since 1999. Original instruction manuals confirmed that Silent Hill takes place in New England, but there'🍸s never been outright confirmation in one of ꦬthe games regarding which of the six states specifically Silent Hill can be found in.
Interestingly, the movie places Silent Hill ꦯin West Virginia.
The Double under Dusk comic, illustrated by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pyramid Head creator Masahiro Ito and penned by original scenario writer Hiroyuki Owaku, has two protagonists from Maine, the liner notes for Silent Hill 4: The Room's soundtrack gives the 💟Heaven's Night Club a Maine address, official Konami posters say Lakeview Hotel is in Maine, and the bus in Downpour has a Maine license ཧplate.
There's always been a mountain of eviden♐ce, but nꦬever a sign smack bang in the middle of a Silent Hill game that outright says "Maine".
Prominent leaker Dusk Golem shared a screenshot of a newspaper d🐎ispenser that says, "Maine News - Take One". It's the first in-game confirmation in 25 years that Silent Hill does in fact take place in the Pine Tree State, putting the debate to bed at long last.
It makes complete sense given 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the numerous Stephen King inspiration🎐s, as most of his work is set in Maine since he was born in Por𝐆tland. There are direct homages across the Silent Hill series to his body of 🏅work from Carrie and Pet Sematary posters to Redrum graffiti and Bachman Road (Richard Bachman being King's secret pen name from the '70s to '80s).
So, when the game launches out 😼of advanced access tomorrow, you can enjoy knowin🐻g that you're really, undeniably in Maine.
