Slitterhead is a beautifully disgusting survival horror game from the creator of Silent Hill

Keiichiro Toyama is back.

Among the seemingly endless onslaught of explosions shown off at The Game Awards, Keiichiro Toyama dimmed the lights with his latest project Slitterhead.

Best known for creating Silent Hill, Toyama’s new studio Bokeh Studio seems to be looking to cause many sleepless nights with Slitterhead. First of all, just try saying the word “Slitterhead” out loud without shuddering. You know someone is a master of the horror craft when just saying their name fills you with disgust.

Of course, if that’s not enough to make you wince, check out the trailer for Slitterhead below. The body horror vibes are, well, dialed up to 11 and then some. 

As a long-time Silent Hill fan, I’m delighted to see this. The vibe is a little more with Toyama’s other horror series Siren, what with all the nasty blood and guts.

Toyama’s last game was 2017’s Gravity Rush 2. So this is a big of a return to form for him.

There is no word on what platforms Slitterhead will be on or when it’s coming out just yet.
