10 Awesome Original Properties To Shake Up Gaming

9. Zwei

Here's one title we can't wait to get our hands on, given that it is spawned from the mind of Shinji Mikami, who is best known for countless hit franchises, such as Resident Evil, Dino Crisis and Devil May Cry. While all of them have had they day now (sorry, Resident Evil fans), Mikami might find new creative footing with Zwei, and though details are currently pretty sparse, concept art like the image above already puts us well in the mood for playing it. Indeed, Zwei is only a codename for the project which is being developed under tight lock and key, but given that it's being published by Bethesda, rumours are already running rampant that it might be sandbox survival horror game, or even an RPG. All we know is that the game is using an already existing video game engine, though Mikami has elected not to reveal which. Given that this is to be the last game that Mikami directs, one would hope and expect that he makes sure to go out with a bang after the recent disappointments that his various franchises have delivered. He attests that it's a "true" survival horror game, and given how malnourished that genre has been in recent years, we positively cannot wait to see what he serves up.
