Bethesda Softworks today confirmed a launch date for its upcoming third-person survival horror game, The Evil Within. The date with death was announced via the publisher's Twitter account, and included an image showing a glimpse of the horrors to come. The game, helmed by Resident Evil 4 director Shinji Mikami, and developed by Tango Gameworks, will be unleashed on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on 26th August in North America, with the European release emerging from the shadows a few days later on 29th August.
In an early preview of the game last year, we said that "if we’re already having nightmares over a slender serving of footage, then we’re destined to be psychologically battered by the time that we’re done with the full game". With that in mind, it's shaping up to be a frightfully good year for survival horror fans, as Outlast recently chased us down its grimy halls. Other upcoming scare-'em-ups include Dying Light, Daylight, and Alien: Isolation. Are you already setting money aside for a new pair of pants in preparation for The Evil Within, or does the prospect of exploring Beacon Mental Hospital have you reaching for the nearest light switch? Shriek at us in the comments section below.

YES!
Now here's hoping for a suitably twisted collector's edition!
I seen this earlier today really looking forwards too it.
From what I've seen this is creppy as hell and I'll definitely be picking this up. Looks like though there is going to be a big pile up of game releases at the end of summer, ouch goes the wallet.
Bethesda is always busy making something great
Ahh....Shinji comes to rectify all the damage done to Resi Evil since Resi 5.
Very excited for this. Should bridge the gap between nostalgia and the new with Survival Horror perfectly.
My prediction? One of the best games of the year and a very good rival to Resi 4.
It must come to PS Vita too
COMING TO PS4!!! YES! and I freaking agree forget crappy Resident Evil 5/6 also Survival Horror coming back in full swing now confirm me Siren PS4 and I will be dead as a door knob lol.
@italodance Its playable on PS Vita, via remote play on PS4.
I have been keeping my eye on this game I really hope it's good!
The demo I saw last year was pretty great. It looks like the spiritual successor to RE4 in a lot of ways, but it's perhaps a bit less action heavy from what I can tell. One sequence they showed you're basically just running away from this massive butcher dude.
This is what I love seeing. I've gotten tired of all of the shooters and indie games. Finally a legitimate genre is being revived and on a beast of a machine, the PS4. Can't wait to turn the lights out!
Good to have a release date, now I just hope Mikami is able to mix the horror and action better than some other developers have done lately.
Finally! Japanese devs really need to step it up on the PS4. We need more games from them.
@Big-Boss no i meant the real game on VITA we don't want a remote player and i dont own another PS device.
I fear playing this after finishing Outlast
