The CGI director of Resident Evil 1’s remake for the Gamecube will be serving as the lead environment artist on Shinji Mikami’s new survival horror game, currently called Project Zwei.

“The lead CGI artist from Biohazard Rebirth’s environments will be acting as lead environment artist of this project,” reads Project Zwei’s official site.

Resident Evil on the GCN was widely considered to be extremely atmospheric and praised by one and all. Many even call it the best Resident Evil title to day.

“Rebirth is widely considered one of the most atmospheric titles of all time,” the site says. “All things considered, Project Zwei looks to be a stand out title in every regard. While no platform has been set, it is said to be arriving in the later portion of 2013.”

Tango Gameworks and director Shinji Mikami are working on a ‘survival horror’ game under the codename ‘Zwei’.

Shinji Mikami is committed to making a game that is the realization of  pure survival horror, an experience which he defines as one that pushes the limits of fear and exhilaration. He and his team at Tango are committed to attaining this vision.

“A true ‘survival horror’ game is one in which the player confronts and overcomes fear,” says Shinji Mikami, president and creative director for Tango Gameworks. “I’ve found my focus and once again I’m striving for pure survival horror. I am being very hands-on in the development of this game to ensure that the quality is there. Rest assured.”

They have also released the first concept art of the game and in all honesty it looks scary.
