The Evil Within Release Date: The Evil Within is the first game from Tango Gameworks, which was founded in 2010 by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and later acquired by Bethesda owner ZeniMax Media. It is known in Japan as Psychobreak.

The Evil Within stars Detective Sebastian Castellanos who, as previously revealed, encounters "a mysterious and powerful force" that brutally kills his colleagues. Detective Sebastian and his partners, Joseph Oda and Julie Kidman arrive at a crime scene only to find the place being deserted. Sebastian witnesses a hooded figure massacring fellow police officers one by one. A mysterious figure then appears behind Sebastian and attacks him, rendering him unconscious. He later wakes up finding himself trapped in a land where dangerous creatures dwell and has to fight his way through the world of death and his close friend's madness in order to understand what is going on.

In the first The Evil Within preview, "The Evil Within is a welcome return to survival horror. It mixes the over-the-shoulder combat (and chainsaw-wielding nutters) of Resident Evil 4 with the grim, psychological horror of Silent Hill, and the id Tech-powered visuals are beautifully atmospheric."

As of the moment, here are the known nemesis Sebastian Castellanos will encounter in the game.

Zombie-like creatures -The main enemy of the game. They move in a same manner as zombies but can also wield weapons. At some point, Sebastian has to face a mob of these creatures.

Boxhead - A large humanoid creature that wears a vault of some sort on its head. It uses a large hammer as a weapon.

Bone Laura - A creature resembling a woman with multiple limbs. Not much is known about the creature.

Butcher - A large and deranged human who butchers its fallen victim for an unknown purpose. It chases Sebastian with a chainsaw when he accidentally trips an alarm. If the player does not successfully get away, the Butcher will impale its chainsaw through Sebastian's body, instantly killing him.

The Evil Within will be released for PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
