The Facebook page went live this morning, teased at the end of a new video for the game which hit IGN also this morning. "My team and I are committed to creating an exciting new franchise, providing fans the perfect blend of horror and action." "We’re incredibly proud to announce The Evil Within," Mikami said in a prepared statement.
Mikami joined Seeds Inc (now known as Platinum Games) along with several of the industry's heavy hitters, where he continues to make titles that are sure to change the face of gaming once more.The Evil Within, the first game from Shinji Mikami's studio Tango Gameworks, is coming to the PlayStation 3, Windows PC, Xbox 360 and "next generation consoles" next year, according to the official Facebook page for the game. Mikami supervised the development of God Hand before Capcom dissolved Clover in early 2007. RE4 completely reinvented the Resident Evil franchise with its new camera, gameplay mechanics, setting and storyline, and its critical and consumer reception combined for one of the most important videogames of the last generation.Īfter the success of RE4, Mikami left Studio 4 and went to Clover Studio with Capcom alumni Atsushi Inaba and Hideki Kamiya. 03, and then what many consider Mikami's crowning achievement, Resident Evil 4. During this time, he worked as the executive producer on various titles and acted as the producer on the Dreamcast's Resident Evil: Code Veronica.Ī year after the release of Code: Veronica X on PlayStation 2, Mikami shifted his support to Nintendo with a string of different releases for GameCube - Resident Evil 0, P.N. Following the completion of DC, Capcom's Production Studio 4 was formed, with Mikami appointed as its general manager. Drawing inspiration from the 1989 Famicom title Sweet Home (based on the movie of the same name), as well as legendary film director George Romero's Dead films, Mikami's new project took shape, and in 1996, the first Resident Evil took the gaming world by storm.Īfter RE's triumph, Mikami was promoted to a producer and oversaw the development of the next two Resident Evil titles and directed the first title in the Dino Crisis line. Goof Troop was the end of Mikami's "lighter" period as Shinji-san decided that he was ready to work on something more mature. In 1993, he became a game designer, working on the puzzle-oriented Goof Troop for the Super NES.
His work for the company started out rather tame: he was a planner for a quiz game and two Disney-licensed properties. The Doshisha University graduate was hired by Capcom in 1990. In 1996, Shinji Mikami scared the "you know what" out of gamers and re-introduced the world to the survival-horror sub-genre of action games first pioneered in Alone in the Dark with his zombilicious brainchild: Biohazard.
