That’s why fans were so confused when Nintendo released a cryptic little trailer for what appears to be a spooky horror title.
The trailer features grainy footage of a man in a suit standing with a paper bag over his head.
On it is a simple drawing of a smiling face with a wide smile, which sometimes transitions into a smaller smile.
At the end, a Japanese phrase flashes on the screen that says “smiling man”.
Japanese text can be seen in all versions of the trailer, even those promoted by Nintendo UK and Nintendo of America for the Nintendo Switch.
The video is simply titled Emio, and the video description is #WhoIsEmio.
That’s the question on everyone’s lips, as the trailer doesn’t explain in any way what it’s about.
A store page for a game called Emio was also created, but it doesn’t contain any information, just a scary gif of the masked man.
What we do know is that Emio is the abbreviation of the Japanese translation of “smiling man”, which reads “emiotoko”.
The game is rumored to be developed by Bloober Team, the studio best known for Layers of Fear, which is currently working on the Silent Hill 2 remake.
We know that Bloober Team is currently working on an unannounced survival horror game, which could be Emio.
Nintendo seems happy to leave us with the creepy teaser trailer for now while everyone tries to figure out who or what Emio is.
