2024 a “Decisive Year” for ‘Slitterhead’; ‘Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP’ and ‘Shadows of the Damned: Remaster’ Remain Committed For Release
We’ve had the reveal, the behind the scenes footage, and even had a bit of a swerve. Still, the question remains: When are we going to see Slitterhead? Thankfully, 2024 appears to be the year, according to developer Bokeh Game Studio.
Per 4Gamer.net (and translated by Gematsu), the Japanese website did their annual roundup of end-of-year creator interviews, interviewing 176 developers, with many of them teasing new titles and announcements in their statements for their 2024 ambitions. Among them were Bokeh Game Studio co-founders Kazunobu Sato and Keiichiro Toyama, who both stated that 2024 would be an important one for Slitterhead.
“Bokeh Game Studio continues its hard work on the development of Slitterhead. I think next year will be a special year for the project,” said Sato. While Toyama calls 2024 “a decisive year” for the upcoming Survival Horror game. “2024 will be a decisive year in which our studio’s first title Slitterhead will really begin being shown. Given that it will significantly influence our future, it will be an important year, so I would like to face it with enthusiasm.”
Fans waiting on Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP will also apparently get their wish, as Dragami Games’ Yoshimi Yasuda reiterated that the remaster will be out in 2024. “By ‘walking the righteous path’ of carrying over the worldview and scenario from the original game that were so well received, while revising elements that users requested we improve and adding carefully selected new elements, we’re aiming to create a title that many players on modern hardware can fall in love with. And another thing—while we’re not at the stage where we can announce it yet, we’re developing a new title outside of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. I think we will be able make an announcement in 2025, but we’re aiming to make it a good game that will satisfy many players.”
And while Suda51 isn’t involved with the Lollipop Chainsaw remaster, the Grasshopper Manufacture founder stated that the Shadows of the Damned remaster that was announced earlier this year will again see a 2024 release. “2024 will be a lively year for Grasshopper. A remaster of Shadows of the Damned will be released. And we are hard at work on a new title!”
Slitterhead is currently in development for PC. Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP is aiming for a Summer 2024 release on PC and consoles, while Shadows of the Damned: Remaster is “probably” coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
Back in 2021, Saber Interactive announced that they were working on a “single-player, story-driven horror adventure game” inspired by John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place. Now, Saber Interactive and developer Stormind have pulled back the curtain on A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, coming later this year to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a new story in the A Quiet Place universe, and is designed “for fans of the films, horror games, and story-driven adventures alike.”
The story centers on a young woman struggling to endure not only the nightmarish alien creatures that have invaded earth, but also the anguish of interpersonal family conflicts and her own inner fears. With nothing more than your wits and the simple tools you can scavenge, you’ll have to overcome the many treacherous challenges and obstacles that lay ahead, all while trying to survive an ever-present threat of the unknown enemies.
As one might expect, sound plays an important part in the gameplay. You’ll need to hide, distract, and sneak past the creatures, all the while exercising caution to not make any noise. Players will need to use their wits and ingenuity to observe each environment, leverage whatever tools they can find, and overcome danger.
More info regarding A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, including its release date, is expected soon. In the meantime, players can check out the game’s official site for more info.
Meanwhile, the third entry in the film series, a prequel spinoff movie titled A Quiet Place: Day One and directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig), heads into theatres on June 28.
