It’s admittedly not much at the moment, but it’s a sign of things to come for Bokeh Game Studio’s Slitterhead. Ahead of their appearance at PAX West and Gamescom, the developer has released a new image from Slitterhead, which is appropriately ominous.
Set in the densely cluttered streets of Kowlong, filled with obscurity and chaos, Slitterhead 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.
As mentioned, Bokeh Game Studio will be showing up at Gamescom in Colonge, Germany from August 21-25, where they will be showcasing Slitterhead behind closed doors. From there, the developer will travel to Seattle for PAX West from August 29 to September 2, where they will have a playable public demo for the game available for attendees.
Slitterhead will be released November 8 digitally for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 for $49.99. The game will also see a physical PS5 “Day 1 Edition” release in North America for $59.99, courtesy of XSEED Games. The Day 1 Edition will include the game, a CD of original songs from the game composed by Akira Yamaoka, a 100-page artbook and a sticker sheet, all housed within a custom outer box.
