The wait is finally over. The Evil Within, a new survival horror game from Resident Evil’s Shinji Mikami, is now available. To celebrate the big day, Bethesda has released the launch trailer that gives gamers a look at the horrors to come, including the lockbox killer with a massive meat tenderizer, a blood-gushing hallway reminiscent of The Shining, and a chainsaw wielding maniac.
“While investigating the scene of a gruesome mass murder, Detective Sebastian Castellanos and his partners encounter a mysterious and powerful force. After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead. Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what’s behind this evil force.
Developed by Shinji Mikami and the talented team at Tango Gameworks, The Evil Within embodies the meaning of pure survival horror. Highly-crafted environments, horrifying anxiety, and an intricate story are combined to create an immersive world that will bring you to the height of tension. With limited resources at your disposal, you’ll fight for survival and experience profound fear in this perfect blend of horror and action.”
From Tango Gameworks and Bethesda Softworks, The Evil Within is now available in the US for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The Evil Within is set to come out in Australia and New Zealand on October 16th and in Japan on October 23rd.

When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
