Keiichiro Toyama, the director behind 1999’s much-loved psychological horror title Silent Hill, has revealed that he’s collaborating with a ‘famous creator’ in Japan.
Speaking with AI Hub, Toyama commented:
We’re obviously still at an early period, so there’s not a lot we can actually say, but we are looking to create an experience that can be enjoyed widely by a range of people. So, for example, we intend for our game to have a setting in Asian cities.
One thing we can say is that, we are working hard right now to collaborate with a famous creator in Japan, and that’s something we haven’t been open about before.
Toyama-san revealed in December 2020 that he had departed SIE Studio Japan to establish a new outfit titled Bokeh Game Studio, where he’s working on a new horror-oriented action-adventure game due for release in 2023.
He’s been joined at the studio by Junya Okura and Kazunobu Sato, who worked on Gravity Rush and Puppeteer, respectively.
