Bethesda Softworks released a new sceenshot today on Twitter of Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami's next project, "The Evil Within." The survival horror game was announced last week,

The new screenshot shows a standoff between a character and one deadly enemy, look at all those limbs...and blood. The backdrop looks promising and the lighting is perfect for tension, as seen below.

What do you think of the latest screen? Are you excited for The Evil Within, or do you have reservations? In a generation where most survival horror has been abandoned for action and flash, I'm excited to see what Mikami creates, especially since the tweet paints the game as, "embodying the meaning of pure survival horror." We'll have to wait and see exactly what that means as more details roll out.

The Evil Within has no set release date, but is scheduled for 2014 to hit the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and nex-gen consoles.

Hey, its a puppy!

I'm ready for another real survival-horror game so hopefully game is just excellent. ^_^

this screenshot has already been shown several days ago ._.!!

Reminds me of the spider Daedra from Oblivion :P The game's teaser featured some intriguingly grotesque enemies, but I'm not sure if I want a "blend of action and survival horror." That path seems to be paved on a slippery slope that leads to more "of action" and less "and survival horror."

Bethesda + Survival Horror = OOT OOT I'll be buying this game for sure. Hopefully this game shows Resident Evil what it should aspire to be like.
by IzzyOtaku Friday, April 26, 2013 at 11:12 AM

So many horrific monstrosities in this game!! Lol Also for some reason I think this game was going to be in first person...dont know why just thought it was

Oh man, I am really excited for this. I love Mikami's work, Vanquish being one of my favorite IP's of this generation. Looking forward to see him retake his throne as the king of survival horror. Also, this creature reminds me of Human Centipede.

They call him Mr. Glass.

I never play horror games, but this one is dragging me in.
by Skybreaker34 Friday, April 26, 2013 at 11:32 AM

I've never been a big horror fan, but I like Bethesda and this looks pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
by Zachary Pligge Friday, April 26, 2013 at 11:42 AM

I'm enjoying everything I hear and see about this game.
by Knapp16 Friday, April 26, 2013 at 11:44 AM

I don't think I have enjoyed a good horror game since the first fear. Hard to call games like Alan Wake and Dead Space horror when your first thought is to shoot. Interested to see how this turns out.
by KingCup Friday, April 26, 2013 at 11:47 AM

Hmm...just think of all the things she could do with those hands...
by Aaron Friday, April 26, 2013 at 11:54 AM

Can't wait. Let's go ahead and get this out of the way. Bethesda is publishing, not making the game. Tango Gameworks, Which is Shinji Mikami's(Creator of RE, director of REmake, RE4) studio is developing the game with Naoki Katakai(REmake, Okami, Vanquish)as art director. Shinji is directing the game.

MORE HORROR GAMES PLEASE!!!! Dead Space 1 & 2 freaked me out!
by Mortal91ify02 Friday, April 26, 2013 at 12:35 PM

I just know that Shinji Mikami's new baby is going to give survival horror fans what they've been craving for the past few years. Now I know there has been great horror Indie games, but I'm looking for a proper AAA console release. The Evil Within might be that spark that will light up the fire for other devs *cough* capcom *cough*.......
by Dzelly Friday, April 26, 2013 at 12:40 PM

The whole thing reminds me of Thirteen Ghosts.
by lethargicDonkey Friday, April 26, 2013 at 12:50 PM

It's been a while since a game scare the crap out of me so I got high hopes for this.
