‘The Evil Within’ To Launch On August 26th

Briefly: Finally, Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks The Evil Within has a release date.

The survival horror title (which looks fantastic, check out some gameplay footage here) will launch in North America on August 26th, and Europe on August 29th.

As a big fan of survival horror games, 2014 really seems like a great year to follow the genre. The fantastic Outlast just launched for PS4, Zombie Studios Daylight looks promising, Techland’s Dying Light should be awesome, and there are plenty of other games coming down the pipeline. Unless a Silent Hill reboot is announced (that doesn’t suck), Mikami’s name attached to The Evil Within could be the best news the genre has had in years, and it certainly has horror fans excited.

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.
