That said, don’t expect it any time too soon, as the game has yet to enter full production.

I know there are many games that followed in the footsteps of Silent Hill today, so I would particularly like to know what a new entry would leave and change from the original.īokeh Game Studio’s first title, Slitterhead, was revealed at The Game Awards and it looks to contain some Silent Hill DNA (check out the first teaser trailer below). If there was to be a new entry in the future I would obviously be very interested in it as one user. I think you’d have to rethink the concept to make it interesting to fans.

That’s not what it was about - how beautiful it was. It’s not an action game where you can just refine the action as in Biohazard, to bring Silent Hill up to current standards or to polish up the graphics, the fans wouldn’t be satisfied. I think would be harder to remake than, because the gameplay as a concept is a little older. Whether Toyama was ever really working on another Silent Hill is unknown, but in a new interview with Video Games Chronicle he rejected the idea of a straightforward remake. Early Silent Hill rumors indicated Sony Japan Studio was working on a new entry under Toyama’s guidance, but instead, Sony shut down the team and Toyama founded the new independent development house, Bokeh Game Studio.

Everybody seems to have an opinion on how a Silent Hill revival ought to be handled, including series co-creator Keiichiro Toyama. Platforms have also yet to be announced so stay tuned for more details in the coming months.Over the past couple years rumors of a Silent Hill remake or revival have persisted, but no official announcement has materialized. Slitterhead is currently in early development so it’s unlikely to release this year. In our current state, if it’s fun we can just go ahead and make it, so if the demand is big enough, it’s easier for us to answer.” Toyama also addressed the possibility of releasing DLC and expansions, stating that, “We first need to achieve a strong main game.” Sato further added that, “Back in the day these decisions needed approval from Sony. I’d like to include some horror elements in the slower parts, balancing with the frenzy action moments.” The video (which the second of a series started a few days ago) stars Sony Japan Studio veteran and Bokeh CEO Keiichiro Toyama, who is well-known as the creator of the Gravity Rush, Siren, and. “There are some slow and fast moments as well. Okura said that the team wants to “focus on entertainment rather than plain horror.” But while you may not quit the game out of fear, there’s still a “terror aspect” to it. I want to achieve both action and drama with this game.”Īs such, there was plenty of action to glean from the reveal trailer even if the actual gameplay has yet to be showcased.

It conflicts the mind, making the players reluctant to enter certain fights. I wanted a game that could be enjoyed for its action, yet whose concept doesn’t solely revolve around killing enemies. From there, I wanted to widen the player base who could access the game, including players who don’t usually play horror games. Perhaps the most interesting part of this discussion is Toyama’s statement that the game “doesn’t fully enter the horror genre” but instead “spans over multiple genres where horror is expressed. A new Q&A video has since been released where Toyama (who serves as creative director) along with game director Junya Okura and producer Kazunobu Sato talk more about the title. Showcased at The Game Awards 2021, it featured all kinds of horrors that leaned more towards body horror than the supernatural. Following Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama’s departure from Sony Japan Studio and the founding of Bokeh Game Studio in 2020, the team has been working on Slitterhead.
