Tango Gameworks: ‘Ghostwire: Tokyo’ Originally Started Out as ‘The Evil Within 3′
For you fans of 2017’s The Evil Within 2, you’re probably wondering if there will be a third entry anytime soon. Well, it turns out that Tango Gameworks’ upcoming Bethesda title Ghostwire: Tokyo started out as The Evil Within 3.
In a new hands-off demonstration with the upcoming action-adventure horror title, Gamespot reveals that the Tango Gameworks team was in the process of developing The Evil Within 3. However, changes during development caused them to re-evaluate things, ultimately deciding to change directions on the project and creating a new IP.
However, there’s still enough of The Evil Within left in Ghostwire: Tokyo for fans to be excited. For example, the first two games in The Evil Within series featured “morphing, shifting rooms”, which in turn was adopted by Ghostwire: Tokyo. The only difference is that Ghostwire puts the cause on Hannya and his cult of followers, instead of someone’s mind trying to shield itself from further trauma in The Evil Within.
As for if Tango Gameworks will return to The Evil Within 3, that remains to be seen. Producer Shinji Mikami stated last year that The Evil Within 2 director John Johanas had begun work on Tango Gameworks’ next project to follow Ghostwire: Tokyo. However, that was after Microsoft purchased ZeniMax (and Bethesda in the process), which calls into question if The Evil Within 3 is being developed, and if it’ll be an Xbox exclusive.
Time will tell, as they say.
Meanwhile, Ghostwire: Tokyo will arrive on PlayStation 5 and PC on March 25.

Physical ‘Observer System Redux – Limited Edition’ Announced for Switch 2, Coming This October
Available now digitally on the Switch 2, for those fans who want that something extra in regards to Bloober Team’s cyberpunk horror title Observer, Meridiem has the answer, announcing that it will publish and distribute a physical edition of Observer System Redux – Limited Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2. Set for release on October 30, you can pre-order the game now.
In addition to being on a physical cart, Observer System Redux – Limited Edition will include a special case, a lenticular 3D postcard, in-game ad cards and digital content.
Originally released back in 2019, Observer received an upgraded and expanded System Redux version the next year. Starring the late Rutger Hauer, the year is 2084. The future has turned out much darker than anyone could imagine. First, there was the Nanophage. A digital plague that killed thousands upon thousands of those who chose to augment their minds and bodies. Then came the War, leaving both the West and the East decimated and shattered. With no one left to seize power, corporations took over and forged their own crooked empires.
You are an Observer – a tool of corporate oppression. Feared and despised, you hack into the darkest corners of your suspects’ minds. You creep into their dreams, expose their fears, and extract whatever your investigation may require.
Observer System Redux is also available for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
