Here’s to hoping we see more of this potentially gruesome title in 2022. Thankfully, there is plenty to digest in this little snippet of probably-not-gameplay. I mean, who hasn’t walked down the street late at night only to meet a nice young woman who transforms into a monster you couldn’t even picture in your worst nightmare? That’s a Tuesday night where I live.Īnyway, the trailer above is just about all we have to go on for now as no release date or platforms were revealed in it or during The Game Awards. Looks terrifying and also completely relatable. At least that’s the impression I’m getting from the Slitterhead teaser trailer below. From Bokeh Game Studio, a developer founded last year by Silent Hill and Gravity Rush creator Keiichirō Toyama, the game looks like a more action-centric take on the horror genre. ![]() One of the most intriguing trailers of the show belongs to Slitterhead, a game whose name I have trouble typing correctly. But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t anything for horror fans to get excited about. That Silent Hill revival “insiders” have been taunting fans with for years now didn’t come to fruition during The Game Awards broadcast. Platforms are also undecided, although Toyama did say he wanted to “reach as many players as possible while maintaining the essence of the game”.Lady in the street but a freak…also in the street The game has only just finished the prototyping stage and they’re “committed to production until at least the end of 2022”, so it will be no earlier than 2023 before the game is released. However, we can’t expect to see the game anytime soon. It will also “include many new mechanics that have not been seen so far in other games, so I think it will result in a unique experience”. Slitterhead will be a third-person action adventure game at heart. Although it is a horror game, we aim to make a game that is entertaining on a wide range of levels, with a story filled with mystery and new types of action gameplay. That said, we are not only focusing on the gore itself we intend to portray horror in a way that deepens the sense of immersion for the player. The game will explore life and death and the process of decay throughout everyday life, so inevitably some of the developments and visuals will be quite shocking. Players will need to find a way to “smoke them out to make them reveal themselves” and this will be “a major pillar of the adventure and the story”. These creatures are called Yakushi and they’re “a kind of monster that have their roots in classical theater”. They can mutate into terrifying skeletal monstrosities of various sizes that prey on humans and tear them apart. ![]() The trailer was also filled with seemingly normal city residents that hide a deadly secret. The game will explore an original setting that blends the nostalgic sights of that city with pure fiction.” The city is a fictional location “inspired by 1980s and ’90s Hong Kong. The game is seemingly set in a rundown Asian city where the featureless concrete highrises all look the same, alleys are filled with rubbish and graffiti, and abandoned cars block the streets whose only bright spots are the neon signs. The first trailer suggests that this game will be as Japanese as possible - in a good way. In 2020, he founded the independent studio Bokeh, with which he is working on Slitterhead the first artwork of which was revealed in February. ![]() Toyama clarified he “can’t go into a lot of details yet”, but he did elaborate on the game’s trailer. Instead, we got to know some details about the game from the father of this legendary brand - Keichiro Toyama. Few details about the action adventure game have been revealed seeing as the game is not yet in full production, but in an interview with IGN Japan, Toyama did give us more details including that Slitterhead will “explore life and death and the process of decay throughout everyday life”, something expected to be fairly shocking to players. Keiichiro Toyama has been making games for almost 30 years. Keiichi Toyama’s new company Bokeh Game Studios announced their upcoming project Slitterhead during The Game Awards at the start of this month.
