![]() Little has been revealed about Slitterhead, but a teaser trailer and its content could definitely give young children nightmares, turning the body horror and gore up to 11.īeing Bokeh Game Studio’s first game, Toyama is bringing back a member from his past projects to work on the music and soundscapes of Slitterhead, including none other than Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka. ![]() We are delighted to reveal a teaser trailer for our first game, “Slitterhead”. He emphasizes that he wants players “to feel exhilarated when playing," drawing inspiration from the popular sub-genre known as "death game." Again, however, even if Toyama wanted to remake the original Silent Hill, it wouldn’t be up to him since Konami owns the license for the franchise.As the creator of Silent Hill, Siren, Gravity Rush, and many more games, Toyama goes back to his original horror roots with Slitterhead. He added that he didn’t believe refining the game’s visuals would be satisfying for fans, although he also mentioned that, in general, he wasn’t against the concept of remaking video games, saying that it helps to update and modernize mechanics as well. In his opinion, remaking the original Silent Hill would be more challenging because it’s not an action-adventure game. In an interview with Video Games Chronicle earlier in December, Toyama said he thought remaking Silent Hill would be more difficult than remaking early Resident Evil games, which Capcom successfully executed with Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Toyama’s return to horror means he has spoken about Silent Hill recently, though. Came Back It Would Be The Snyder Cut Of Video Games ![]() At the very least, it’ll be something new to explore as Konami decides what to do with Silent Hill, if anything. Considering the reception to the Siren series, especially the last entry in the franchise, and his own enthusiasm regarding Slitterhead, it seems like he’s back to creating disturbing, grotesque worlds designed to unnerve the player, which is sure to be interesting. While it may not have been the horror game revival that Silent Hill fans initially wanted, it is exciting to see Toyama strike out on his own and return to his roots. Other than that, the only information he’s dropped is that the setting is vaguely inspired by Hong Kong in the 1980s and 90s, but the city in the game is fictional. He’s also stated that players will control their character from a third-person perspective, which contrasts with Resident Evil’s recent change to first-person in Resident Evil: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village. So far, Toyama has said that Slitterhead will be a horror action-adventure game, hopefully releasing in 2023. As of now, Toyama’s involvement is Slitterhead’s only connection to Silent Hill, but it’s certainly a dramatic return to the spotlight for Toyama and the new Bokeh Game Studios team. The trailer even opened with text mentioning its creator’s relationship to his former franchise, presumably in an effort to excite fans of the dormant Silent Hill with the thought of new secrets and mysteries to explore. Then, Slitterhead was officially announced at The Game Awards 2021, showing that Toyama had indeed returned to the survival horror genre.
