Keep it strong
Earlier today Bethesda revealed the game they've been working on and, no, it's not Fallout 4 (thank God ). Developer and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami are working together to make The Evil Within, a survival horror game set for release next year on PS3, Xbox 360, PC and 'next-gen consoles'. It was announced alongside a live-action trailer.

Some screenshots have also surfaced which show the actual game. You can have a goosey gander of those here.
Mikami himself had this to say about the game: ""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."

I'm gonna say this now before everyone else does. The Evil Within looks like the gameplay of modern Resident Evil mixed with a more Japanese style of horror. It's quite reminiscent of Silent Hill in a lot of ways. Looking at those screenshots you could easily mistake it for a Resident Evil 7 or Silent Hill 5. Mikami is a proven talent and working with other talented people like Bethesda and not (if you pardon the opinions) a talentless hack like Suda 51 I can see The Evil Within providing great gameplay and some unsettling horror. I look forward to seeing how this shapes up (and maybe a Wii U version, if only God were so kind) and along with games like The Walking Dead, ZombiU and The Last of Us, it could help make horror a popular genre in gaming again.
