Bethesda is Considering ‘The Evil Within 2’, ‘Rage 2’
Bethesda hasn’t ruled out sequels for two of its more divisive titles, including Tango Gameworks’ psychological horror game The Evil Within, directed by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, or id Software’s post-apocalyptic shooter, Rage. This is lovely news for fans of both games, as either could’ve easily become a one-off. That might still happen, but it’s possible that one or both could return, says Bethesda VP Pete Hines.
This doesn’t mean we’ll be hearing from them anytime soon, if ever. Finder tried to get Hines to elaborate on the current status of the two games, but, unsurprisingly, it didn’t work. “I won’t confirm or deny stuff we may or may not do, as people jump to the wrong conclusions,” said Hines, before adding “But I do think both The Evil Within and Rage did well enough that we could make sequels.”
It’s not a lot, but it’s something. These were flawed games that had a lot of potential, and that’s a strong foundation for a follow-up to build on. I might also suggest a sequel to Machine Game’s enormously entertaining alternate history shooter Wolfenstein: The New Order. It’s been on my mind since the game resurfaced back in June, when a rumor mentioned E3 reveals of it and The Evil Within 2. That rumor obviously fizzled out, and I believe it’s time we fix that.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
