Early yesterday morning, Polygon reported that Bethesda had issued a cease and desist order to Amazon marketplace seller Ryan Hupp, for his listing of a sealed copy of The Evil Within 2. Bethesda's case was that Hupp was not an "authorized ...

Xbox has been on a roll lately with how frequently the backward compatibility program gets additions that make you think "oh hell yeah I'd play that again!" Last week, it was Prey. Now, it's a PlatinumGames cult classic. Starting today, Van...

Say hello to Father Theodore -- Ted to his friends, the flamethrower-wielding souls he's ensnared to do his bidding. Ted is a bad guy so you probably should not let him get to Lily, the little girl Sebastian is trying to save in The Evil W...

We're getting pretty close to the release of The Evil Within 2 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Now producer Shinji Mikami, who acted as director for the original game, has said he would like to eventually see the game on Switch. Mikami ...

You've seen the trailer. You've read Jordan's tepid preview. Now you can watch over a half hour of pure, uncut The Evil Within 2 footage for yourself. It's the classic third step before step four, buying the game and never playing it and p...

Action-packed trailers for survival horror games are always kind of an oddball necessity. Effective survival horror is tense and plodding, a long buildup of dread before the dreadful stuff actually happens. However, trailers best serve the...

The past few years have seen a rise in PC gaming and digital distribution in Japan, partially due to the success of Dark Souls, as PC Gamer reported a few months ago. Seeing how well the Souls franchise performed on PC, along with visu...

Here is over 30 minutes of Evil Within 2 gameplay from the demo playable at Gamescom 2017. Media were permitted to play this demo and write their impressions but apparently not allowed to upload any captured footage. Well, someone got...

Sebastian Castellanos is barreling toward a head-on collision with a new type of foe. As we saw in the original Evil Within, he's accustomed to dealing with the grotesque, the supernatural, and the horrifying. The sequel pits him against s...

I'm looking forward to The Evil Within 2. The first game had plenty of issues, but I dug the way it blended a bunch of horror influences to make a batshit crazy story that never stopped to see if the player was paying attention. Plus, its u...

Bethesda's The Evil Within 2 reveal at E3 went about as smoothly as anyone could hope for. There was a well-produced trailer, a description of the plot, and a release date. Probably most important, there was a thirst from fans for...

We've been expecting at least a couple new game reveals out of Bethesda's E3 2017 press event, and The Evil Within 2 is looking like a reasonably sure thing at this point. Over the weekend, r/PS4 readers encountered a reddit ad with the fol...

Channeling The Evil Within's protagonist detective Sebastian Castellanos, internet sleuths have made good use of their magnifying glasses and keen attention to detail. A new clue has popped up to suggest that a sequel to The Evil Within&nbs...

The Evil Within had a letterboxed aesthetic that didn't fly with everyone. It added to the cinematic presentation, but some people couldn't stand it. Coming up on a year after release, Tango Gameworks is just now making stylistic sacri...

The last bit of The Evil Within DLC drops this month. "The Executioner" features an unexpected shift to the first-person perspective and "series of battle arenas all from the...perspective of The Keeper," if you were thinking The Evil With...

Shinji Mikami's The Evil Within has one more trick up its sleeve. The cool-down lap is said to feature a lengthy talk with a therapist before dimming the lights and taking a refreshing nap. When you wake up, the house will smell of fr...

The next DLC episode of The Evil Within, The Consequence, picks up on April 21, 2015. Like The Assignment before it, Bethesda is starting us off with an extra brief teaser trailer. Somehow, the delivery of the sorta-out-of-context line "I'...

All that matters is finding Leslie, but it is still nice to see an actual trailer for The Evil Within's first DLC, The Assignment, after last week's ten seconds of nothing teaser. There is a release date, too. March 10. The two-part story ...

Well, Leslie. That's quite the predicament you've gotten yourself into, Leslie. We can't wait to see how you manage to get out of this one, Leslie. It's just a teaser, but at least we know that The Evil Within's first add-on is coming in M...

Based on everything I've heard about The Evil Within, I genuinely do not know if I'll like the game. It could be one of my favorites this year, but I also wouldn't be shocked if I ended up hating it, all the same. I'll continue putting off ...

"This is insane," are some pretty appropriate famous last words, especially when you're inside a carnival of horrors. That should've been the case for this player, but he took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. That's perseverance at its fines...

I grew up happily playing Shinji Mikami's games, and he's probably one of the most influential directors/producers that ever lived. I remember the first time I played Resident Evil, the day I bought Devil May Cry from EB Games, and the exac...

Well, it's finally here -- the day when The Evil Within is upon us at last, and we get to see how this thing turned out. Not us, mind you; Bethesda wasn't so quick to forward us a copy for review. But, I can assure you that we have Ch...

The first 30 seconds of this new The Evil Within trailer declares that the game's enemies are "demented, vicious, and deadly." Most of them look all three parts, but the ones with the smiley-face masks have really locked in the whole ...

Last week, Bethesda shed some light on what it considered the recommended requirements to be to play The Evil Within on PC. After some chatter from the Internet about them being ridiculously high, Bethesda clarified by posting minimum ...
