In order to ensure extra development time to “further balance and refine the game”, Bethesda Softworks and developer Tango Gameworks have confirmed that The Evil Within will have its release date pushed back. As of now, it is planned to have The Evil Within on store shelves across North America from October 21 2014, Australia and New Zealand on October 23 2014 and throughout Europe on October 24 2014. This delay has impacted the release on all consoles, including the PC, Xbox360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
Bethesda have also announced a new pre-order incentive for The Evil Within – ‘The Fighting Chance Pack’. The Fighting Chance Pack provides players with a handful of additional items that may help them stave off death for a moment longer – even if they seem to be mostly regular items:
- Medical Kit – A vital health enhancement to enable Sebastian to fight on.
- Green Gel – Used to upgrade Sebastian’s attributes.
- Double Barrel Shotgun and Three Shells – A larger and more formidable shotgun than the regular shotgun, it’s useful for tight situations with multiple encroaching enemies.
- An Incendiary Agony Bolt – Capable of showering nearby enemies with damaging fire sparks.
- A Poison Agony Bolt – Will draw enemies towards it and poison them, allowing Sebastian time for a quick escape.
