Slitterheaddirector Keiichiro Toyama saysSonywanted Japan Studio to make “more highly budgeted games” before it was ultimately closed.
“My motive was always to create original games. I feel I can do this without a massive budget. This allows me to express myself as well. By going independent, this has allowed me to do that. From my time at Sony, I feel like I’m accomplishing what I want to do,” Toyama continues.
Slitterhead launches later this year on November 8 across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
