‘Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami brings forth a spine-chilling masterpiece with the 2014 horror game.’
The Evil Within, a survival horror game from Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil, will be available for free next week on the Epic Games Store. The game, which is almost a decade old, can be claimed for free from October 19 to 26. This announcement comes after Mikami left Bethesda earlier this year. The Evil Within follows the story of Detective Sebastian Castellanos as he navigates a nightmarish world filled with monsters and traps. Players must use stealth and gather resources to uncover the mysteries of the environment and defeat the villainous Ruvik. Despite criticism of its plot and enemies, the game has gained a cult following among horror fans and Mikami enthusiasts. The Evil Within is typically priced at $20, but it will be available for free on the Epic Games Store next week.
