IGN has lead with the reveal of The Evil Within, the first game by Tango Gameworks, a company lead by Shinji Mikami, the father of Resident Evil, and a talented team full of people formerly from Platinum Games and Grasshopper Manufacture. While not much information was given on the game, a series of screens and a teaser trailer have been released. We also know it is releasing on the 360, PS3, PC, and next-gen consoles in 2014.

“We’re incredibly proud to announce The Evil Within. My team and I are committed to creating an exciting new franchise, providing fans the perfect blend of horror and action,” Mikami states.

It looks a lot like Resident Evil 4, but with a much stronger grotesque environment, disturbing imagery and strange monsters, and a few advancements in mechanics, the clear one right now being sneaking. There apparently will be a gameplay demo video and impressions available on the 22nd, but in the mean-time, check out the game’s screenshots below.

[BBfanUSA]

It looks good, but I'm disappointed that FO4 will be a next gen title fully.

[Scarlett.]

I hope next gen heralds the revival of survival horror

A more detailed press-release to the just announced survival-horror game by Shinji Mikami, The Evil Within, was released to the Japanese public. This includes more details of the game, and we’ve worked with some Japanese-speakers to roughly translate the details for you:

-The game stars a man named Sebastian and his partner, who go to investigate the scene of a mass murder, but where a mysterious force is at work. Sebastian watches as more and more of the police force get killed before his eyes, and is attacked and knocked out. When he comes too, he must fight a world where monsters roam free and death and insanity live side-by-side. He will face unimaginable horrors where he must fight for his own survival. To discover the truth behind the force that lurks here, Sebastian must embark on a journey brimming with horror.

-Uses the ID Tech 5. They say they are taking the engine a step further than it has ever been used and are utilizing a state-of-the-art lighting engine and a much more powered-up version of the engine than any game to date has used.

-Game is trying to strike a balance between horror and action, but in the sense that one should be desperately struggling to survive and facing scenarios of unimaginable horror. They say they want to redefine horror, and seem to be going for a more difficult and intense experience.

-The game promises to have limited resources and be full of puzzles and traps. They want to fill the player with anguish, tension, and anxiety and send them off the deep end.

-They make a focus that enemies can easily kill the player, you’ll have to be cunning and evasive to survive in these harsh conditions. You also can utilize traps enemies set-up for you on them instead.

-It seems the player can experience random distortions that can happen in any area at any time, which changes anything from enemies, doors, walls, objects, or the like into terrifying nightmares that our character sees. These are random and change in real-time as well, it seems.

-They finish off saying that they want the game to start strong and continue with a growing feel of insecurity to grow as the game goes on. They also mention the game will have an in-depth world, and that you’re being hunted by something mysterious and dark.

We’ll keep you up to date as more The Evil Within news develops.
