Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama’s new game is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC

The first Slitterhead gameplay trailer has leaked, confirming that the title will be released on November 8, 2024.

The trailer was published early on developer Bokeh Game Studio‘s YouTube channel, ahead of what’s been billed as Slitterhead’s “gameplay world premiere” at the Summer Game Fest showcase later on Friday.

While the trailer has since been made private on Bokeh’s YouTube channel, it quickly started circulating on social media platforms including X.

The trailer confirms that Slitterhead will be released for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The horror action-adventure game is the next title from Silent Hill, Siren and Gravity Rush creator Keiichiro Toyama.

In December 2020, Toyama left PlayStation to form Bokeh Game Studio alongside Junya Okura, lead designer on the Gravity Rush series, and Kazunobu Sato, lead designer of PS3 exclusive Puppeteer.

In a video published the following year, Toyama said that “rather than something deeply rooted in horror”, Bokeh’s first game would also “keep an entertainment note” as he wanted players to “feel exhilarated” when playing.

“The view I have of horror is the everyday life being shaken,” he said. “Rather than showing scary things, it should question our position, make us challenge the fact that we’re living peacefully. I like bringing this type of thoughts into my concepts. I would like that to be the theme of my next game.”
