The Evil Within: Shinji Mikami on the creation of Xbox One’s first horror game
The man behind Resident Evil on how he’s returning to the genre.
Shinji Mikami is a man of few words. Compared to the loquaciousness of most Western developers and executives eager to reel off their latest marketing pitch, he’s almost mute – possibly because his CV speaks for itself. After creating the original Resident Evil and with it the genre of survival horror, he oversaw some of Capcom’s most cherished – if not most successful – releases, including Viewtiful Joe and Killer 7, as well as one-time Resi spin-off Devil May Cry.
