Bokeh Game Studio, founded by legendary original Silent Hill director Keiichiro Toyama in 2020, today revealed an ominous new image for their upcoming action-horror title, Slitterhead, scheduled for release on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC on Nov. 8th, 2024.
The developer also announced that they will be showcasing Slitterhead behind closed doors at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, from Aug. 21 – 25th, and will have a playable public demo available at PAX West in Seattle, Washington, from Aug. 29th – Sept. 2nd.
Set in the densely cluttered streets of Kowlong, filled with obscurity and chaos, this battle action-adventure game casts players as the “Hyoki,” an entity devoid of memory and physical form. His only motive is to eradicate the monstrous beings known as “Slitterheads” crawling around the city, disguising themselves as humans.
Roaming the vibrant neon-lit cityscape, Hyoki must seek out allies among humans known as “Rarities,” infiltrate and track dangerous organizations, and engage in battles harnessing the power of blood. As the suspenseful drama unfolds, delve into the mystery behind Hyoki’s existence and the appearance of the Slitterheads.
The title will be available digitally for $49.99, as well as a physical PS5 Day 1 Edition in North America distributed by XSEED Games with a MSRP of $59.99, including a physical copy of the game, a CD of original songs from the game composed by Akira Yamaoka, an artbook with over 100 pages filled with gruesome details, and a sticker sheet, all housed within a custom outer box.
Developed and published digitally on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5 by Bokeh Game Studio, Slitterhead will be released on Nov. 8th. The title has been rated M for “Mature” by the ESRB.
