‘The Evil Within’ Director Shinji Mikami Headed to E3, Fueling Speculation

Published

Fans of The Evil Within 2 might be in store for an announcement of a third entry at E3, as the game’s Executive Producer, Shinji Mikami, tweeted a cryptic announcement that he was headed to E3 for “work”.

Of course, it could all be for something else entirely. Mikami had expressed interest in the past in potentially seeing The Evil Within 2 ported to the Nintendo Switch.

Regardless, seeing as the man basically created the modern 3D Survival Horror genre, not to mention The Evil Within 2 managed to snag more than a few nominations from several publications, one shouldn’t leave out the possibility that we’d be revisiting the franchise in the near future.

Released in 2017, The Evil Within 2 is available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Behaviour Interactive Partners With Haenir Studio to Develop ‘Blight: Survival’

Published

Behaviour Interactive is busy this week. Already having dropped a new teaser trailer for The Casting of Frank Stone, they’ve now announced that they’re teaming up with Icelandic developers Haenir Studio to help with development of the Medieval co-op action horror title Blight: Survival.

“Teaming up with Behaviour Interactive signals the next major phase of development for Blight: Survival,” said Haenir Studio Co-Founder, Mads Christensen. “With Blight: Survival, we set out to deliver an ambitious and unique experience for players. Being able to utilize Behaviour’s resources, expertise, and horror pedigree will be instrumental in bringing our vision to life. We’re thrilled to kick off this journey together.”

First announced back in 2022, Blight: Survival takes place in the no man’s land between two desperate kingdoms locked in a ceaseless war. Within this realm of death and decay, a new strain of Blight has erupted from the remains of the fallen. Fed and strengthened by the blood that’s been spilled, it rapidly spreads, turning man into monster. As a result, the call goes out for those brave enough to take on the dead with the promise of wealth as a reward.

“As a game we were already looking forward to playing ourselves, we couldn’t be happier about this collaboration,” shared Stephen Mulrooney, Executive Vice President at Behaviour Interactive. “Working with talented studios like Haenir Studio in this type of partnership will be a focus for us as we look to publish more and more external games in the coming years. This is the start of something new and exciting for Behaviour, and we’ll be keeping our eyes open for interesting opportunities.”

While Blight: Survival does not currently have a release date, Haenir Studio and Behaviour Interactive are eager to share more details about the game and its ongoing development in the future. Currently, you can wishlist the game on Steam.
