Our own Editor-in-Chief Jonathan James was recently invited to QuakeCon in Dallas, where he had the chance to play The Evil Within 2 demo featuring the "gruesome, giggling guardian," and if you weren't able to make it to the PC gamer gathering, Bethesda Softworks has released the "Guardian" gameplay footage online for all to enjoy.

"Are you ready to face off against Guardian and the many other horrors waiting for you in The Evil Within 2? This chase is just a snippet of what players have experienced in the hands-on demo.

A breathless chase down a hallway. Echoing laughter and the whirring of a sawblade dogging your steps. If you’re brave enough to look behind you, you’ll see the maelstrom of body parts that make up the monstrous creature known as Guardian. Aside from a handful of brief glimpses in trailers, the recent hands-on demo for The Evil Within 2 was our first real up-close-and-personal encounter with Guardian.

The Evil Within 2 releases worldwide Friday the 13th, October 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC."
