Is there news anywhere about adding the Born from a Wish bonus chapter from the Restless Dreams re-release to the remake as DLC?

No one knows. You can visit the mansion's entrance and Maria will comment on it saying "it feels like a bad memory", which leads me to believe they might have scrapped the idea.

That would be a bummer

The Resident Evil 4 remake at least added Separate Ways as DLC even if some kind of constraint kept them from including it with the main game

I don't think it's possible, it's pretty short and people will get mad about it being paid DLC.
Unless they make it at least x2 longer/bigger.

they expanded/added new areas in this one, i dont see why they wouldnt expand the born from a wish chapter if it were to be remade

It depends on money as usual, we don't know if Konami paid for that specific DLC to be made along with the base game like Capcom did for RE4Remake.
Born from a Wish needs a lot of rework if they ever want to release it for a remake.

They wanted more money, and unlike the base game of the remake which was I would argue a downgrade (though still very good in its own right). Separate Ways was a substantial improvement over the original which always felt like a budget addition hastily thrown together.

A little different, Capcom owns its developers and they have several at all times working on Resident Evil. Konami hired this developer for a specific project.

Lets see if they can resolve the technical issues first then see about a possible dlc.

While it is true the remake is double the length of the original. I don't think Born from a Wish has anything really to offer. I feel like they should be spending more time on a Silent Hill 4 remake instead of expanding out a 10-15 minute extra thing added to sell Xbox copies. I also feel like the additions added to the game already hits the feeling, implications and themes that Born from a Wish had anyways.

I can't see why they'd remake SH4 when it was so contentious and did such a bad job feeling like Silent Hill that people accused it of being a random stand-alone horror game Capcom dressed up as Silent Hill sometime during development to aid sales

The next logical step would be remaking SH1 since PS1 games are starting to look horribly aged by this point

i think they should remake sh1 for sure, but theres many references to sh4 in this game, which makes me believe that that may be the next remake, as well as the fact that sh4 references sh2 quite a bit

Silent Hill 2 always had those references to Walter Sullivan, it was likely the writers for Silent Hill 4 just used that throwaway environmental storytelling as a foundation for it's story
I would also prefer Silent Hill 4 The Room to arrive, and I would also like a Maria DLC to come out in Silent Hill 2.

But the Born from a wish DLC wasn't even included in the original PS2 release either.
I would buy it for twenty bucks if they include robbie the rabbit mask as a bonus.

it was in the greatest hits version which released later alongside the xbox release. the born from a wish expansion didn't exist at launch for the ps2. it DOES however exist in 2024. just not in the remake like it should.
