Keiichiro Toyama is working on a brand-new video game project after the release of the underrated Slitterhead. Toyama, who has been developing video games since working on Hideo Kojima’s Snatcher in 1994, is working to create another new idea over the next few years.
Speaking to Japanese outlet Famitsu during a recent Slitterhead art installation, Toyama confirmed that he is already working on a new project following the release of his last game in 2024.

Speaking at the art installation, Toyama confirmed that his studio’s next project is already in the works, but didn’t reveal how long the project will be in active development for.
“I can’t reveal the exact details, but we have started working on our next title. In the beginning, we wanted this to be a studio where we could do many different things, like implementing the ideas of younger generations and even working on more light-hearted projects,” the Silent Hill creator said.
Toyama explained that the new game is currently in “the beginning phase” and “more details” will be revealed “sometime in the future”. While still unconfirmed, the developer teased that the game will not be a Slitterhead sequel as that game was not designed with “a sequel in mind”.
Alongside teasing his brand-new game, the Silent Hill creator explained that he may not be able to keep making games if we take his “age into consideration”. While the creator’s next title may end up being his last, the studio will continue afterwards.
“I believe that moving forward, I also have to pass the baton to the next generation. As a studio, we’re still midway to reaching our goal,” he explained.
Toyama’s last entry in the Silent Hill series was the original game, but he has created a tonne of other horror titles. Toyama also created Siren, Forbidden Siren 2 and Siren: Blood Curse. The game director also created Gravity Rush and its sequel.
