Watch 12 Minutes Of ‘The Evil Within’ Gameplay Footage!

Briefly: I love survival horror. At least, I love what survival horror used to be. Sure, we had the absolutely incredible The Last of Us earlier this year (though that was much more survival than horror), and there’s some excellent looking PC titles on the market right now (Outlast anyone?). Sadly, the once mighty greats of the genre have fallen, and current Resident Evil and Silent Hill titles are nothing but average action games.

With The Evil Within, Bethesda Softworks and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami are hoping to reinvigorate the classic survival horror genre, and I couldn’t be more excited. A new, extended gameplay video for the title has just been released, and it looks absolutely unreal.

Take a look at the footage below, and let us know what you think! The Evil Within is still a ways away, and simply has a release date of 2014 at this point, but the game will launch on PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4.

Detective Sebastien Castellanos and his partners are called in to investigate a gruesome mass murder. After witnessing a mysterious force slaughter his fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When the video opens, he finds his world has been turned upside down. Facing unimaginable terror and fighting for survival in a world where hideous creatures wander among the dead, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel who or what is behind this unimaginable evil.
