New title revealed from the creator of Silent Hill
With Akira Yakamoka on board for the soundtrack...
It's to be expected that some games will be revealed to the public for the first time at His Holiness' Orange Crunchy Snacks Event (known as The Game Awards). We were hyped for a new Silent Hill game, as rumours had been rife, truth be told, but instead a new IP was unveiled by the creator of the first title in the classic series (and later, the Siren series creator) Keiichiro Toyama. Its name, Slitterhead. He's joined by the great Akira Yamaoka, a composer whose name is interwoven with Silent Hill and most recently The Medium.
For the game itself, unfortunately we don't know enough details such as the platforms and release date.
