The Evil Within

Release date: August 26, 2014

With The Evil Within, Shinji Mikami is looking to get back to his survival horror roots, wishing to make a game like his masterpiece Resident Evil 4. That’s great news for fans of horror games, as Evil Within is already shaping up to be a terrifying tale. That’s not so great new for the more skittish folks among us, as it’s one more game to fuel our awful nightmares.
Mikami has been busy since RE4, lending his touch to games like God Hand, Vanquish, and Shadows of the Damned, but The Evil Within looks like Mikami’s bread and butter: horrifying monsters, dark hallways, and the third-person over-the-shoulder format that RE4 made famous. This looks like one of those games we play with the lights on…every light…in the entire house.
