12 Minutes Of Gameplay Footage From ‘The Evil Within’
Bethesda has released an extended playthrough of Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami’s next horror game, The Evil Within, and boy, does this game look intense. Some of it is footage we’ve seen before, usually broken up, like in the recent gameplay trailer, but this is seamless. We finally get to see how this game plays, without fancy editing and marketing text.
Turn off the lights, crank up the volume and enjoy.
From watching the demo, I can see Mikami’s hands everywhere. From the atmosphere to the combat, including the way you set enemies aflame to finish them, as well asx the intensity of the chainsaw chases and the dreadful lulls in the action. It might be a trick of the editing, but it looks like Sebastian is stuck in a serial killer’s nightmare, going from one horrifying scenario to the next.
One thing’s for sure; I definitely can’t wait to see more — how about you?
The Evil Within comes to the PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in 2014.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
