Slitterhead is being worked on by a whole team of veterans – many who joined following
the closure of Sony Japan Studio – including Gravity Rush designer Junya Okura, Puppeteer lead Kazunobu Sato, and Devil May Cry character artist Tatsuya Yoshikawa.
Toyama hopes the game’s early announcement will help his new company attract younger creators to supplement his team of all-stars.
Following Slitterhead’s announcement, VGC spoke to Toyama about the news, Bokeh’s progress, and
reports that Silent Hill – the series he created – could be set to return.
It’s now been one year since Bokeh was announced to the world. How is your first project progressing?
We just revealed a teaser trailer for our first title “Slitterhead” at The Game Awards! As for the project, we have completed our prototyping phase. We will be using our knowledge gained from the feedback to enter full production. Though it’s too early to reveal any details about the game, and it will take some time prior to release, we hope you look forward to it!
