The plot’s a bit too much to explain in one paragraph, though it is worth mentioning that the inspiration for the game’s asylum came from the real life Winchester House. Things very quickly go sideways, with Sebastian going through hell and back in the process. The Evil Within’s plot is, well, it’s a lot, but the core game follows Sebastian Castellanos, a police detective for Krimson City who’s investigating a mass murder at Beacon Mental Hospital. There aren’t any real survival horror games in the world right now. For me, personally, why I came back to survival horror is that survival horror as a genre is becoming all action now. That is the main thing we are focused on. “Having the player pick up the controller and being genuinely able to say ‘Wow, I haven’t played a game this scary in ages!’, that is what we are after. When speaking about his inspirations and reasoning for developing The Evil Within, Mikami explained why in a video interview with IGN : Beacon Mental Hospital – The Evil Within The game ran on the id Tech 5 engine, and was given the infinitely better name of Psycho Break in Japan.
The Evil Within would finally be announced in April 2013, set for release in 2014 across PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. When speaking to Edge in 2013, Mikami said: “One thing I want to focus on is to nurture younger staff, and I think now is the right time to do that.” He also announced that the upcoming game would be the last game he would direct, as he believed that the younger generation should be given a chance to succeed. Tango was then acquired by ZeniMax/Bethesda towards the end of 2010.ĭetails regarding Tango’s first game were thin on the ground for a while, though in 2012 Mikami shared a rare project update, telling the general public that he was hoping to staff Tango up to 100 employees, and that the prospective game would use a heavily modified version of an external engine. In 2010, Mikami then announced that he would be forming the Tokyo-based studio Tango, and that Straight Story would be shut down after the release of Vanquish. Mikami left Capcom in 2006, forming the Straight Story development studio who were contracted by PlatinumGames to assist on Vanquish.
Of course, RE4 received quite a few ports, and Mikami carried on making games.
Mikami even joked about committing harakiri if RE4 went to more platforms than the GameCube. Shinji worked on the bulk of Resident Evil’s entries from the first installment in 1996, all the way to 2005’s Resident Evil 4. Joining Capcom in 1990, Mikami would go on to become the director for some of Capcom’s biggest franchises, including Dino Crisis and, most notably, Resident Evil.
Today, we’re asking the question: will The Evil Within ever return?Ĭhronicling the origins of The Evil Within requires diving into the legendary career of Shinji Mikami. However, The Evil Within has cultivated a devout following, particularly after the much improved sequel, so the chances of The Evil Within 3 happening isn’t outside the realms of possibility.
#Evil inside bethesda series#
Heck, we’ve covered a few of them ourselves, like Alone In The Dark, Dead Rising and Dino Crisis, but there’s a certain horror series that appears to have gone AWOL despite being a lot more modern, and that’s The Evil Within.Ĭreated by horror legend Shinji Mikami, The Evil Within has had a short legacy, with only two games under its belt in the brief time since the first game’s release. There are plenty of old school horror games that haven’t seen a big release in a long time.
