Bokeh Game Studio Releases New Development Video For ‘Slitterhead’, Teases Potential Collaboration With Junji Ito?

Bokeh Game Studio has released a new behind-the-scenes development video for their upcoming Survival Horror title Slitterhead, showcasing the motion capture development the team is doing for the project. On top of that, the studio has also taken to X to start tongues wagging regarding the potential involvement of Junji Ito with Slitterhead.

For starters, the video features narration by members of the motion capture team, including Cutscene Director Minoru Kusakabe, who has previous experience working with Bokeh Game Studio’s Keiichiro Toyama for Forbidden Siren and the Gravity Rush series. “Toyama came over to me again when he funded Bokeh Game Studio. From there, I am actively involved in [Slitterhead].”

From there, the video goes over the team’s process of motion capture, what they look for in performances, as well as giving glimpses of the rigged characters from Slitterhead.

Then there’s this post to X, which contains a single zoomed-in image of an illustration of a woman that is very reminiscent of artwork by Junji Ito. Namely, fans immediately started saying that the woman looks very similar to Ito’s 1986 manga, Tomie.

Obviously, Bokeh Game Studio hasn’t outright said that Junji Ito is working with Bokeh Game Studio, nor is this confirmation that he’s contributing to Slitterhead. Still, Ito has dabbled in video games briefly with Junji Ito Maniac. Then there was that conversation a few years back with Hideo Kojima. Until someone mentions something, temper your expectations.

Slitterhead is currently still in development for PC and consoles.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
