I’ve been worried about our prospects of seeing a follow-up to Shinji Mikami’s anti-Resident Evil, The Evil Within. Bethesda has remained tight-lipped on those sales figures, and that’s very rarely a good thing. It’s especially worrying when the same cannot be said for Alien: Isolation, which released the previous week, and Sega wasn’t at all impressed when it sold 2.1M copies.
Mikami’s nightmarish video game might not have performed as poorly as I feared. A recent rumor has teased the possibility that we’ll hear from a range of titles from Bethesda at E3 next week, including The Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim HD, and even Prey 2, again.
The fresh batch of TBA’s were uncovered by reliable industry insider Shinobi602, who broke the news on the H.A.M. Radio Podcast (#63), where he also provided some (unconfirmed) details on a the games. Apparently, Prey 2 — not its actual title — plays like System Shock and will be a reboot made by Dishonored developer Arkane Studios.
As for the Skyrim remaster, it will allegedly feature enhanced visuals, full mod support, and all-previously released DLC. This claim was backed up by NeoGAF user Enter the Dragon Punch, the insider who foiled Capcom’s planned reveal of Dead Rising 4 at E3 next week (June 14-16).
The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2 are still enigmas to us, for now.
