E3 2017: The Evil Within 2 Coming in October, Looks Anything but Ordinary

For the past few years, Bethesda has kicked some serious ass with their E3 showings. First we had Doom and Fallout 4 in 2015, then Prey and Dishonored 2 in 2016. Now, in an event I can only describe as a mad display of decadence, they announce two titles that I have been looking forward to more than finding cocktail made out of genuine unicorn tears. I’ll talk about the new Wolfenstein in a bit, but clearly the showstopper for me was the reveal of The Evil Within 2.
I genuinely did not think that this game would ever see the light of day. Despite absolutely adoring the original and giving the DLC a similar score, I’ve met far more people that haven’t beaten this game than those who have. If I were the speculating type (which I am), I’d say it had something to do with how abstract the game was. It’s also not a very friendly game, with a scant few weapons and little ammo to go between them, meaning that if you’re not a horror veteran you might very well find yourself stranded in a difficult pinch.
Luckily, horror fandom has prevailed once again. We will not only see a The Evil Within 2, but we will see it as soon as October 13th! Now as there are currently no totally clean copies of just The Evil Within 2‘s Bethesda segment, I’m linking two videos here: the official trailer, and the footage we saw at the Bethesda press conference. Enjoy.
The Evil Within 2 – Official E3 Announce Trailer:
You are Detective Sebastian Castellanos and at your lowest point. But when given a chance to save your daughter, you must enter a world filled with nightmares and discover the dark origins of a once-idyllic town to bring her back. Horrifying threats emerge from every corner as the world twists and warps around you. Will you face adversity head on with weapons and traps, or sneak through the shadows to survive? This is your one chance at redemption, and the only way out is in.
The Evil Within 2 releases worldwide Friday the 13th, October 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
