Slitterhead Creator Emphasizes Commitment to Originality
Keiichiro Toyama, the mastermind behind Slitterhead and renowned for creating Gravity Rush, Silent Hill, and the Siren series, is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of originality in game development, even if it means sacrificing some polish.
In an interview with GameRant, Toyama highlighted his unwavering focus on delivering fresh and distinctive gaming experiences.
“Since the inception of Silent Hill, we have strived for innovation and uniqueness, even if it results in a slightly imperfect product,” Toyama explained.
This commitment to creativity has remained a constant in Toyama’s creations, including his latest project, Slitterhead.
While the exact nature of the rough edges in Slitterhead remains a mystery, eager horror fans won’t have to wait long to experience the game firsthand. Slitterhead is set to release later this week on various platforms, including PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on 8th November 2024.
Slitterhead was officially unveiled in 2021, with a deeper insight provided in a developer diary last summer. This detailed look at the game showcased various enemies, unique abilities, and a surprising feature – the ability to control a dog character, a detail that was further confirmed in leaked footage back in June.
