Former PlayStation developer Keiichiro Toyama, who just so happened to create Siren and a little game called Silent Hill, has announced that his new project will be a Horror Action-Adventure game, slated for a 2023 release. Toyama broke the news to IGN Japan, who in turn relayed details to the North American branch.
Toyama’s Bokeh Game Studio was founded on August 13, and speaking with IGN Japan, stated that the upcoming title will “appeal to fans of my previous work”. Toyama explained that the game will include “battles and story elements” in the kind of immersive worlds reminiscent of his earlier work with Konami. “If anything, this will be more of a horror-oriented game. But we will focus on making this a broader entertainment experience, rather than a hardcore horror game.”
Despite being a first-party Sony developer for the past two decades, Toyama said that his new project will be a multi-platform release. “We are developing with PC as the lead platform, but we hope to release the game on as many console platforms as possible.”
As you might guess, the project is still in its early stages, but Toyama has put together a “fairly large” team to develop the game. “We’re just entering prototype development, and development will probably take nearly three years. So we hope to get this game into your hands in about three years from now.”
That being said, Bokeh cofounder and producer Kazunobu Sato (who also worked on Siren) and business development manager Yohei Hart stated that the studio’s newly launched Twitter account and Facebook account will show glimpses of progress as the studio continues development on the title.
