Trailer breakdowns are usually something I reserve for games we don’t know much about, since we tend not to know too much about the game at that point. Dissecting a trailer to examine each individual frame can be a great — if a wee bit time-intensive — way to glean some information about an otherwise mysterious title. As we’re about to find out, it can also be a fantastic way to really look at a video, without slapping the pause button when we think we saw something new.
The Evil Within is a good example of this. The game releases next week, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about it, and specifically in regards to its cast of monsters.
We’ve been introduced to the main baddie, Ruvik, as well as the common enemies, called the Haunted. There’s also that big hammer-wielding dude with the safe on his head and Laura, the four-armed blood witch, among others. That’s only a small sampling of the nightmarish creatures Mikami and friends have waiting for us in The Evil Within, and by breaking apart its latest trailer, we can get a better look at a few of them.
But first, here’s that trailer again.
Below you’ll find a gallery of screenshots I took from it. I didn’t capture every interesting bit, as I was more focused on the myriad different monsters Bethesda’s marketing team managed to cram into its three and a half minute-long running time.
The Evil Within is slated to release on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.
