Dusk Golem, who was one of the first persons to share details on this remake has confirmed these images. and concept art is real, but he clarified that these are from the internal pitch that Bloober Team presented to Konami. The leaker called it “a proof of concept no budget demo.” The concept art is from Masahiro Ito who made it for the remake.
While it might be disappointing for longtime fans of the franchise to see a Western developer try their hand at remaking Silent Hill 2, according to Dusk Golem, a lot of the developers who worked on the original Silent Hill 2 are also helping Bloober Team handle this remake.
