Keiichiro Toyama ofSilent Hill,Siren, andGravity Rushfame hasa newly-formed studioand his team is working on a game with horror elements that should speak to “fans of [his] previous work.”
Elaborating on whatwe already learnedabout Bokeh Game Studio’s first project, Toyama toldIGNthat the “action-adventure game” they’re making is “horror-oriented” but the developers “will focus on making this a broader entertainment experience, rather than a hardcore horror game.”
Some of the body-horror concept art we’ve seen looks gnarly – as in, arguably too grisly for a “broader” audience – so I’m curious to see what this game’s tone is like. There will apparently be “battles.”
Bokeh Game Studio is “entering prototype development” and tentatively expects to launch “in about three years from now,” according to producer Kazunobu Sato. “We are developing with PC as the lead platform, but we hope to release the game on as many console platforms as possible,” added Toyama.
It’s bittersweet to see high-profile creators like thisstrike out on their ownafter creating fan-favorite series that are no longer getting the corporate backing they deserve. We’re rooting for Bokeh.
