Evil’s going to take hold a little earlier than expected, as Bethesda has announced they’re releasing Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami’s survival horror game The Evil Within a week early. No reason was given for the move, but I reckon it’s so the game won’t go up against Battlefield Hardline and Evolve, both of which are scheduled to arrive on October 21st. The 14th is a little less competitive, with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel being the only major release that day.
If you need help deciding which games deserve your money, I’ve compiled a handy guide to the remaining horror games of 2014 — you can find it here.
The Evil Within arrives on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.
