Bokeh Game Studio’s Slitterhead is one of many premieres for today’s Summer Game Fest showcase, which starts at 2 PM PT. However, it seems the trailer went live early on the developer’s official YouTube channel, confirming a launch date of November 8th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC.
Though it’s since gone private, you can check out the gameplay here. It showcases the player utilizing a spectral worm-like ability to possess other civilians. When the monsters emerge, they can harness special powers, like claws, blades, and even a gatling gun seemingly made from blood. One intriguing moment involves the player’s hand getting sliced off and reattaching almost immediately while still in mid-air.
These possession abilities are also used for exploration, as players can alternate between a strange grapple and shifting from one person to the next. Slitterhead will likely receive more details during the showcase or afterwards, so stay tuned for updates.
