Tango Gameworks founder Shinji Mikami, who is creator of the Resident Evil series, in an interview with Famitsu revealed The Evil Within director John Johanas is working on a game that is the opposite of a horror game, which is a genre the studio is best known for.

"John Johanas, who directed the DLC for The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2, is working on a completely new title that is the complete opposite of horror," said Mikami via VideoGamesChronicle. "It’s a really good game, so keep your eyes peeled."

Mikami added that he hopes to chance the image at Tango Gameworks as it is currently known as a developer of horror games.

“I hope to eventually change the image that Tango Gameworks currently has," he said. "At the moment, we are still seen as a studio that specialises only in survival horror.

"Of course, it’s nice to have fans think of us as a studio with a reputation for developing survival horror games. But we also want to be viewed as a studio that can create a wider variety of games. We will be releasing more and more new games in the future, starting with Ghostwire: Tokyo, so please give us your support."

The Evil Within is a survival horror video game series developed by Tango Gameworks. The first entry released in October 2014 and the sequel released in October 2017.
