Bokeh Game Studio has already announced a release date for the game, which basically came about because Sony shut down Keiichiro Toyama’s former workplace…

Toyama used to work at the Japan Studio, which Sony decided to close down and merge with Team Asobi. He left, founded his own studio, and made a very promising game. Set in the crowded streets of Kowlong, filled with darkness and chaos, this combat action-adventure game casts the player as the Hyoki, a being without memory or physical form. His sole motive is to eradicate the monstrous creatures known as Slitterheads, who crawl through the city disguised as humans.

Hyoki’s ability allows him to possess and control human bodies at will, turning the people who wander the city into his pawns. With this power, he can pass through barriers, assume the identity of specific individuals, and infiltrate dangerous areas and organizations. Quickly changing hosts also allows him to move through the city at high speed.

As players roam the vibrant, neon-lit cityscape, they must find allies among humans known as Rarities, infiltrate and track down dangerous organizations, and engage in battles that harness the power of blood. While human bodies are fragile, Hyoki can burn their life force and turn blood into weapons to face the ferocious Slitterheads. Even when critically wounded, he can continue to fight by efficiently switching hosts. By possessing Rarities, special humans who share a high synchronization with Hyoki, he is able to unleash even more powerful attacks and activate various abilities. Working with these Rarities is the key to unlocking the deepening mysteries of the city of Kowlong.
