Hideo Kojima Enlisting Junji Ito For New Horror Game?
Rumours of Hideo Kojima working on a horror game have popped up before, along with rumours of Konami teaming with Japanese manga artist Suehiro Maruo for a potential Silent Hills revival. And while the latter has been apparently squashed, the former is getting a boost thanks to another Japanese manga artist.
According to a Comic-Con 2020 interview, Junji Ito (yes, that Junji Ito), stated that he had been in contact with Kojima about a possible horror game. Ito stated that, “I do know director Kojima and we have been in conversation that he may have a horror-based game that he may be doing, and so he has invited me to work on that, but there are no details on it yet.”
Now before we all get crazy, Ito seems to be pulling one of Kojima’s tricks of toying with fans. He said that Kojima may be working on a horror-based game that he may be doing. However, if you think back to this little tweet that Guillermo del Toro sent out back in 2015 when he and Kojima were working on Silent Hills together, there might be something more to all of this.

But until someone confirms something, we’re all left to once again speculate.
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
