Keiichiro Uyama, the founder of the "Silent Hill" series, is developing a brand new game!

　　Bokeh Studio, led by Keiichiro Toyama, the father of "Silent Hill", quietly released an early trailer for its new project. Although the team's 2024 work "Slitterhead" received mixed reviews and sales failed to meet expectations, the legendary producer assured fans that the studio was setting new goals with enthusiasm and had begun to develop a brand new game.

　　Keichiro Uedyama began his career in 1994 to join Konami as a fine art design. In 1999, he became famous with the groundbreaking "Silent Hill", but soon left the company. He has since led the creation of the cult classic Siren series and turned to the action-adventure series Gravity Rush. When he returned with his horror new work Slitterhead, old fans cheered, although the game itself received complex reviews in the critics and players. With numerous iconic works, Waishan and his Bokeh Studios' hints about the new project this time have once again ignited players' expectations.

In a recent interview with Japanese media Famitong, Waishan talked about the market performance of "Slitterhead" and the future of Bokeh. He admitted that although the game's sales and reputation did not meet expectations, he was pleased to see that it had won a unique position among its core fan base. He stressed that commercial success is far from the only pursuit of the studio, and maintaining creative personality and freedom of expression is crucial to independent developer Bokeh. The beloved producer mentioned with a little emotion that age may limit what he can accomplish, but he would be happy to pass the torch to latecomers. Looking ahead, Waishan said the studio is in a "mile-shaking middle stage" toward a bigger goal, and the new game under development will work to expand the team's creative boundaries.

　　Waishan confirmed that Bokeh Studio has fully invested in the development of the new work. The team will do its best to prove that Bokeh, as an independent developer and publisher, has the ability to achieve greater flexibility and creative freedom. He expressed his desire to absorb the creativity of the younger generation and intends to explore easier themes, but did not clarify whether these directions are relevant to the new work. More details only promise "the future announcement", leaving a suspense: Will the new work be a horror return in "Silent Hill" style, or will it be another surprise breakthrough brought by Ueyama and Bokeh?

As a legend in the field of survival horror games, Ueyama Keiichiro has long built his own monument. It is reasonable that he has chosen to lead Bokeh to explore new areas. "Slitterhead" has gained a group of loyal fans like "The Song of Death" back then. Players are looking forward to it, hoping that the new works of Outer Mountain and Bokeh can be continued and even surpass the master's former glory.
