News The Evil Within 2 Adds First-Person Mode with New Update
Evil influence?
So, The Evil Within 2 is getting a first-person mode for some reason, allowing you to play through the game from the perspective of its grizzled protagonist.

You what?
The Evil Within 2 has just lurched onto PlayStation 4, and as always, Digital Foundry is first on the scene with a detailed technical analysis.

Hands On The Evil Within 2 Is a Familiar Yet Different Beast
Daddy issues
The Evil Within was an overlooked survival horror gem. It may have been rough around the edges with some performance and gameplay issues, but it was a much-appreciated return to old survival-horror design philosophies. Scarce ammo, unforgiving difficulty, intentionally limiting controls – elements like these filled the void that...
Round Up The Evil Within 2 Reviews Reveal an Improved Fear-Fest
Silent but deadly
The Evil Within 2 launches tomorrow, but Bethesda policy means we won’t have our review ready for a few more days yet. The rest of media is in the same boat, of course, but a few verdicts have trickled out online – and a couple of impressions pieces, too. We figured that we’d round these up for you, because it’s probably...
News The Evil Within 2 Is Out This Week By the Way
Here's its launch trailer to prove it
The Evil Within 2 launches on the PlayStation 4 this week, which feels a bit weird, doesn’t it?

News Watch the Bodies Hit the Floor in The Evil Within 2 Trailer
Dead good
Ain’t nothing subtle about this The Evil Within 2 trailer as protagonist Sebastian Castellanos hangs with religious cultists and cuts the throats of all kinds of reanimated corpses.

E3 2017 The Evil Within 2 Story and Gameplay Details Emerge
We don't Kidman
The Evil Within was incredibly bonkers and unpredictable, but it's these attributes that made it the bizarre, tense horror game that we loved. With appropriately scarce resources, deliberately hampered movement, and terrifying enemies, we've been hoping that Shinji Mikami wouldn't cave and turn the sequel into something like the...

News Bethesda to Bring Prey 2, The Evil Within 2, and Wolfenstein 2 to E3 2016
2 much
Bethesda's press conference at E3 2015 seemed like a fancy way of announcing Fallout 4, so we were taken aback when it revealed that it would be repeating the song and dance this year. But apparently it's got plenty to show, with rumours swirling that in addition to a remastered version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it's also going to...
DLC Review Braving The Evil Within's Season Pass on PS4
Ruvik's cube
Survival horror games are part of a somewhat niche genre that constantly break moulds and, in the process, either make unexpected, monumental strides in innovation or uproarious setbacks by straying too far into other genres. Regardless, many of them have shocked the gaming world, and The Evil Within was no exception last year. Much of...

News Bethesda Shines a Light on The Evil Within DLC
Don't tease us, please
With unforgiving combat, a surreal storyline, and infrequent checkpoints, last year's The Evil Within was a case of horror game Marmite – you either loved it or you hated it. Assuming that you fall into the former camp, though, you may be excited to learn that DLC is on the way, with 'The Assignment' due out in March...
Review The Evil Within (PlayStation 4)
Clair de Loony
The Evil Within knows how to make you sweat. Tango Gameworks’ disgusting debut outing will leave you teetering on the precipice of failure with every twisted encounter, causing you to curse your shortage of resources or your character’s lack of superhuman strength. This is a game that, like its survival horror superiors, isn’t...
News Unleash The Evil Within with Japanese PS4 Bundles
Scarily good
Sony loves its bundles at the moment, so it’s no surprise to see it sell Shinji Mikami’s upcoming survival horror The Evil Within – or Psycho Break as it's known overseas – alongside a couple of custom PlayStation 4 consoles in Japan. Like previous sets in the East, these come with custom hard drive fascias, showing a mansion...
TGS 2014 The Evil Within Looks Tense and Terrifying in This New Trailer
Within without you
As Jane Austen famously stated in Pride and Prejudice, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a trailer for a survival horror game is made much more terrifying when it has Debussy's Clair de Lune playing in the background. Unfortunately, the creators of The Evil Within's latest offering forgot the second half of that popular...

You're Mikami crazy
When legendary developer and horror game kingpin Shinji Mikami first unleashed the T-Virus onto the PSone in 1996, he not only managed to popularise the genre with mainstream audiences, but also founded a blockbuster franchise that would go on to sell millions.
