So for now we will have to wait and see and put our faith in Bokeh Studios. No details about platforms or even a release window just yet. Is this just an inside joke? Or is there something brewing with Del Toro at the helm? I hope we get a new one of those.” Del Toro stated with a playful shoulder shrug. “You know, one franchise I love the art direction in: Silent Hill. With a little bit of a tease by Del Toro himself. The man famously behind the Silent Hills project. Another founding member of Bokeh is Junya Okura. The game is in development at Bokeh Game Studio, the company Toyama started after leaving SCE Japan Studio last year. During the reveal of Nightmare Alley directed by Guillermo Del Toro we had a surprise appearance by Hideo Kojima. Slitterhead looks terrifying, which is no surprise given that it’s being made by former Silent Hill writer and director Keiichiro Toyama. The timing of this announcement is also very interesting due to another announcement. The game will feature music by Akira Yamaoka who is known for composing the amazing soundtracks in the original Team Silent Silent Hill games, most notably the amazing composition in Silent Hill 2. At the game awards he debuted their first title ‘Slitterhead’. One of the most exciting of which is the debut of a new game, Slitterhead, by one of the original creators of Silent Hill.īokeh studios is a new studio that has been established by Keiichiro Toyama, the man behind Silent Hill and Gravity Rush. During The Game Awards 2021, Silent Hill and Siren creator Keiichi Toyama announced Slitterhead, the first project from his new company, Bokeh Game Studios. For now, head on over to the Bokeh Game Studio Inc website for more details as they’re released.The Game Awards 2021 came with its fair share of reveals and announcements. It’s nice to see those two working together again, even if I still don’t know what’s going on.Īs for when we’ll see Slitterhead or what platforms it’s headed to, I have no idea. For the past few years, he’s been producing those lovely tunes for various games, including Dead by Daylight’s Silent Hill DLC, Let it Die, and The Medium. Joining Keiichiro is someone quite familiar with darker and quirky games, music composer Akira Yamaoka. With Slitterhead, he’s back working on just that, games that tell a darker story, and the trailer is evident of that. Following suit, he founded Bokeh Game Studio Inc and set out to work on the darker side of games, which he enjoyed working on. Seeing how we haven’t had a Silent Hill game for years and wanting to get back to working on games in the horror genre, Keiichiro Toyama departed ways with Sony Interactive Entertainment back in 2020. Slitterhead is being developed by a new studio called Bokeh Game Studio, which was founded in 2020 by veteran game developer Keiichiro Toyama. Being the father of Silent Hill, this should indicate what we’re in store for with Slitterhead. You may remember his name attached to several games, including Snatcher, Gravity Rush., and the iconic Silent Hill series. However, Slitterhead is the product from one Keiichiro Toyama. If you’re asking me about what the game is, I told you I have no idea. Come on people… why is it that you fall down every time your life depends on it. Folklore creatures with plenty of nightmare fuel, Hong Kong slums (possibly), people falling from the skies, a sword formed from someone’s blood, and that’s just a few things that we saw.
