Shinji Mikami Announces Krieg - Looks like a fake :(

[Toxa]

A surprising scan from this week’s Famitsu seems to have leaked early. In it, Shinji Mikami’s new studio Tango announces their first game – a PlayStation 3 title named KRIEG with the same free-roaming aspect of Fallout, including that similar mix of role-playing game elements.
This seems to be the project Shinji Mikami was counting down to on his studios’ official site.

According to Mikami, he chose the name KRIEG because it means “war, conflict, and confrontation.” The game is set on a land devastated by nature.
The protagonist is a boy subjected to strange military experiments, however, he cannot recall where he was tested on and is searching for clues to find out. The game’s back-story will be shown in the form of comics and anime.
Originally, Mikami expected to make this title for Wii, but confessed he had to choose PlayStation 3.

“This game will be my personal challenge,” Mikami closed the Famitsu reveal, “new information will arrive during the next E3.”
