Bethesda announced Friday it will release a new survival horror game game The Evil Within by the creator of the Resident Evil franchise. The company spent the week posting cryptic teasers on Vine for the project.
The Evil Within was originally codenamed "Project Zwei" and has been the pet project of acclaimed game maker Shinji Mikami since 2010. He had a teaser website up for his return to survival horror since then.
Bethesda spent the week teasing an unannounced project via its Vine account. Gamers made assumptions the new title was anything from a new Fallout game or even a new Wolfenstein shooter. The Vines tease barbed wire, musical scores, and a dark and creepy environment.

These creepy burning sunflowers were posted on Wednesday.
The full title of the game and trailer were released Friday morning on IGN. You can watch the trailer below to get the full effect of the scary atmosphere this game promises. It does contain some blood and gore, so it could be considered mildly NSFW.
“We’re incredibly proud to announce The Evil Within,” said Mikami in a statement. “My team and I are committed to creating an exciting new franchise, providing fans the perfect blend of horror and action.”
