[Update] The first teaser for the game is live at IGN. Additionally, Bethesda has shared via Instagram that they will be doling out more details starting Monday April 22, 2013. For now you'll have to content yourself with monsters crawling out of blood and a person (?) furiously creating barbed wire.

[Original Story]

My money was on a new Wolfenstein game (and I was wrong), but IGN has just confirmed that they will have the exclusive first look at Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami's next project tomorrow. Tune in at 5 AM Pacific / 8 AM Eastern for the reveal. The title has been in production under the code name "Zwei."

Mikami's new studio, Tango Gameworks, was acquired by Zenimax Media (parent of Bethesda Softworks) in October 2010.

Well that was disappointing.

Go Bethesda! In a world dominated by sequels and re-imaginings, it's nice to see a company take chances with new IP.

Not really sure what to think, was really hoping for a wolfenstein game but guess I was wrong.

being one who does not know Mikami's history as far as games what is his style? japan's horror I know is a little different than western. Of course who is to say that fallout 4 will not be showing its face this year? hmm..

I'm sensing some confusion in the comments about who is developing this game, (some people seem to think Bethesda Game Studios has a hand in this) so I thought I would take a shot at clearing it up. ZeniMax Media owns a handful of game development studios as well as Bethesda Softworks, which is a game publisher. Tango Gameworks is the development studio Shinji Mikami created in 2010 and it was shortly thereafter purchased by ZeniMax Media. This game is being developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda Game Studios has nothing to do with this, so I wouldn't be expecting their trademark brand of open world gameplay out of this.

YESSSSSSS!

So excited for this! Also really excited to see what the game looks like, because if I recall the lead artist is the same person that did REmake and RE Zero. And those games still look classy.

COOOoool!! can't wait!

As much as I despise IGN, I may watch this.
by Ducky From Mars Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 04:19 PM

I still believe that it's Doom 4.
