One of the bigger, and most anticipated, video game shows has always been the Tokyo Game Show, which is taking place this week at Makuhari Messe Event Hall in the bustling, Japanese capital. Bethesda Softworks came out of the gates swinging at this year's TGS by unleashing a new trailer for its upcoming survival horror title, "The Evil Within."
The game itself was developed by the legendary Shinji Mikami and his studio, Tango Gameworks. Mikami rose to fame as the main creative force behind many of the early Resident Evil games. That classic series' influence is clear to see in the horrific trailer above.
The narrative thrust of the game itself centers on police officer Sebastian Castellanos, and his investigation into a grisly mass murder. During this investigation, Sebastian encounters a powerful, malevolent force which casts him into a twisted, parallel universe where nothing is what it seems. Pushed to the limits of his own sanity, Sebastian embarks on a formidable journey to resolve the mass murder and the true nature of this evil force.
According to our friends at Game Informer, "The Evil Within" will be available for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 4, Playstation 3, and the PC on October 14.
