Update: Slitterhead's release date and gameplay trailer have now officially debuted as part of the Summer Games Fest.
The trailer from Bokeh Game Studio showed body-hopping and taking control of multiple people, running through a dense cityscape, and third-person action combat. Slitterhead continues to look the absolute business with nightmarish creatures, a murder mystery that needs solving, and a dog you can possess.
Article continues belowFor the gameplay, though, we now know we'll be able to transfer our consciousness across multiple people in Slitterhead, becoming everyday citizens, and more battle-hardened individuals capable of fighting back against the monster we've previously seen in Bokeh's game.
There's a bit where a character leaps off a big high-rise building, but right before hitting the ground, they transfer to another character, strolling along the pavement. This character seemingly couldn't fight back against the monsters, but two characters could: one with some sort of claws, and another with a shotgun and what looked like a sword.
It also looks like we'll be playing a fair bit of Slitterhead as a cop trying to piece together a mystery, and in combat, it looks like they can whip out a minigun to mow monsters down. There are a lot of supernatural elements at work here, predictably for a game with creatures like these, including an ability to lock creatures in place, and another that fashions a spear out of what looks like blood.
Oh yeah, and transferring consciousness isn't limited to humans - you can play as a dog, too.
