Finally laying to rest years of debate among fans, Silent Hill 2 art director Masahiro Ito has confirmed that Pyramid Head's design is not a creation of protagonist James Sunderland's mind but is instead an image from a painting brought to life. Silent Hill 2 players have long pondered whether the horrifyingly iconic appearance of Pyramid Head was from the mind of James or if it had a more complex origin, the latter of which has now been confirmed by the creature's creator.
First released in 2001, Silent Hill 2 is widely considered to be one of the greatest survival horror games of all time, due in large part to the mind-bending psychological storytelling and grotesque yet memorable enemies. With the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake reigniting interest in the community, many have been pleased to receive an answer to one of the longest-standing questions about Pyramid Head.
