Rejoice, Europeans as you get to experience The Evil Within early

EU release date moved up to October 14

Recommended Videos

As someone living in the UK, it’s super frustrating to see notifications pop up on a console or Steam showing my North American friends playing new releases when I usually have to wait a few more days to get my hands on the same game. Well, Bethesda is being nice to us Europeans and releasing The Evil Within on October 14, the same date of the North American release. 

This includes all platforms, both physical and digital in Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and India. If you’re in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, you’ll still have a couple more days to wait for The Evil Within but I’m really happy by this move.

As I mentioned earlier, it’s annoying to see my friends playing the latest games while I’m stuck waiting for the preferred retailer release date — especially when it’s a PC game.
