Exciting news for horror aficionados! Summer Game Fest 2024 has unveiled a treasure trove of spine-chilling details about Slitterhead, the brainchild of none other than Keiichiro Toyama, the mastermind behind Silent Hill.
Crafted by Toyama’s indie endeavor, Bokeh Game Studio, Slitterhead emerges as a potential nightmare-inducing delight for horror enthusiasts. Its inaugural gameplay teaser unveils a menagerie of grotesque monstrosities and offers a tantalizing glimpse into its combat mechanics. From what we can glean, combat in Slitterhead centers around deftly dodging and expertly parrying incoming assaults, though tantalizing glimpses hint at the possibility of diverse combat styles, including ranged weaponry.
Furthermore, snippets of traversal through the game’s visually arresting urban landscape reveal a setting reminiscent of the chaotic allure of 1990s Hong Kong, replete with dilapidated storefronts and towering skyscrapers.
But that’s not all. The trailer also hints at a unique possession mechanic, teasing the possibility of players assuming control of a red-eyed protagonist who commandeers unsuspecting civilians to combat the encroaching horrors.
And the pièce de résistance? The long-awaited release date confirmation: mark your calendars for November 8, 2024! Slitterhead is slated to haunt consoles and PCs alike, including Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
