The official YouTube channel for Keiichir Toyama's new company Bokeh Game Studio began streaming on Monday a video that teases the studio's new horror game and unveils concept art

In the video, Toyama stated that he planned to come back to his horror roots. He added that his view of horror was "everyday life being shaken. Rather than "showing scary things," Toyama would like the game to "make us challenge the fact that we are leaving peacefully."

The game is slated for release in 2023. The title will be the first release for Bokeh Game Studio.

IGN had previously reported that the game would be a horror action-adventure game. The website reported that the game "will include 'battles and story elements' in the kind of richly authored worlds you might recognize from [Toyama's] games at Sony's Japan Studio and Konami." Toyama also told the website, "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.

PC will be the game's lead platform, but the studio is planning to release the game for multiple platforms. The studio is currently beginning prototype development, and a "fairly large" team is working on the game.

Toyama announced on December 3 that he had left Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio alongside colleagues Kazunobu Sato and Junya Okura to found Bokeh Game Studio.

Toyama is best known for directing the first Silent Hill game by Konami, and subsequently developing the Siren horror game series. He also directed both Gravity Rush games. Sato and Okura both worked alongside Toyama in the Siren series as lead character designer and lead game designer respectively, and Sato also worked as producer of The Last Guardian. Okura was also lead game designer on the Gravity Rush series.

Because, as we know, there are far too many games appealing to that demographic.

I liked Gravity Rush and Gravity Rush 2 so they have my attention, I just hope they get the horror aesthetics and setting right. Gravity Rush 2 kind of had a bit of horror near the end considering what happened to a certain character but the vibe for that portion of the game wasn't that scary and instead was just gross, jarring and felt out of place. In a predominantly horror themed game here is hoping they stay consistent and get it all right this time. The game better absolutely have some degree of explicit violence and gore as well as that is essential to every good horror game.
