‘The Evil Within’ is Coming to Europe a Few Days Early
In news that should make our European readers happy, Bethesda has decided to push forward the release date for The Evil Within four precious days to October 14. This means the game will arrive in Europe, India, South Africa and the Middle East the same day it does in North America. The publisher also confirmed that the previously announced release dates for Australia (Oct 16), New Zealand (Oct 17) and Japan (Oct 23) remain unchanged.
Its latest trailer focused on the game’s voice cast, which includes Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels) as Sebastian Castellanos, Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter) as Julie Kidman, and Jackie Earle Haley (A Nightmare On Elm St.) as Ruvik.
The Evil Within arrives on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
