In an extreme effort to not compete withCall of Dutyreleasing its annual game in the year ____ (insert any yearfrom 2003 to infinityhere), every game developer and publisher is scrambling to find key release dates within October in order to capitalize on those pre-holiday sales. Bethesda is one of those publishers, hoping to strike gold withThe Evil Withinby announcing a one-week advance on the release date. The game is now set to launch here in North Americaon October 14thfor the PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360.

While that’s all fine and dandy, it doesn’t quite get the game outside of the ill-fated month of October. You see, there are roughly22+ significant video gamesbeing released in that month. The PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and even the PC will see at least one exclusive game released, which generally tend to be huge draws. Even thoughThe Evil Withindistances itself from the week of October 21st that seesBattlefield HardlineandEvolvecome out, the survival horror game now finds itself in the awkward situation of debuting only one week after the fellow genre-relatedAlien: Isolationwill be released.
The Evil Withinseems to be an adventurous endeavour by famed game director Shinji Mikami, one that can bring the horror back to action-based survival horror games. What I’m doing here might be considered concern trolling, but with the game coming out on October 14th and sitting between some of the year’s hottest releases, we’ll have to see if the game can find itself caught hook, line and sinker by the gaming community amid a sea of content.
