Rumor: ‘The Evil Within’, ‘Wolfenstein’ Sequels At E3
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.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
