Game Expansions for The Evil Within

The Evil Within: The Executioner

Action 26 May 2015

The third story DLC included in the Season Pass for the dark survival horror The Evil Within released in 2014. Just like the original game, the expansion is set in the ominous asylum in which a brutal massacre takes place. Interestingly, The Executioner tells the story from the perspective of an enemy of The Evil Within’s protagonist. This character, known as The Keeper, is a hideous monster with a safe in the place of his head and wielding a butcher’s axe – the incarnation of Sebastian’s innermost nightmares. This way the developers from Tango Gameworks (led by the father of the Resident Evil series, Shinji Mikami) enabled players to witness the game’s twisted plot from a different point of view. What is more, this solution also allowed them to turn gameplay rules by 180 degrees. Instead of running away and fighting various monsters, players themselves become the eponymous Executioner and brutally murder innocent victims. This shift is highlighted by changing the perspective from TPP to first-person.

Action 21 April 2015

The second DLC expansion included in the season pass for The Evil Within. It shows the second half of the story from the previous expansion, starting right after the end of The Assignment. Once again, the players assume the role of Julia Kidman, partner of the game’s amnesiac protagonist, who mysteriously disappeared during the events of the game. As we progress through levels, we find answers to our questions and learn the secret behind the Julia's disappearance. As in the main game, gameplay encompasses mainly exploration, solving puzzles and fighting various monsters. However, the atmosphere of both DLCs is much thicker and horror-oriented.

Action 10 March 2015

First story DLC expansion for The Evil Within – a third person survival horror from Tango Gameworks – which comes as part of seasons pass. The game’s plot follows three detectives sent to asylum to investigate murders committed in this place. DLC takes place simultaneously with the events of the main game, but features a different perspective. We now play as detective Sebastian Castellanos' missing partner, Julia Kidman, whose tale hasn’t been fully explained in the story of the base gam, allowing us to unveil the complexity of the whole story and learn the reasons behind her mysterious disappearance. A new completely plotline is introduced through exploration and solving puzzles, though fighting and action sequences are still present. DLC stands out with its darker and more claustrophobic atmosphere.
