EA Partners head honcho David DeMartini has revealed that Suda51 and Shinji Mikami’s Survival Horror title is roughly halfway through development, and will be out in 2011.
Details on the project have been kept firmly under wraps since its announcement back in 2008. Speaking to CVG on the game, DeMartini described the unnamed title as “mad genius horror,” labelling Suda51’s designs as "really, really creative".
“It absolutely still exists," he commented. "It has been named, which I can’t reveal yet. But they are still absolutely working on it – they’re probably about halfway through the game."
"How would I describe it? I mean, if you follow Suda at all, you won’t be surprised to hear it’s mad genius in the horror genre. And hopefully we can continue to build on his reputation such that his games get appreciated by more and more people.”
"I think sometimes when sometimes when someone gets a reputation for developing games that are a little bit out there, the interest in their specific games is smaller than it should be – it gets labelled as ‘niche’. His designs are really, really creative and he thinks differently. In this world of making games we need more people who think differently."
When quizzed as to whether or not the game would be released next year, DeMartini simply said, "Yes."
