Finally some good news! Krafton Inc, the South Korean games company best known for its work on PUBG and The Callisto Protocol - has acquired Tango Gameworks and the award winning Hi-Fi Rush IP from Microsoft ahead of the studio's closure. Tango Gameworks, which created the excellent Hi-Fi Rush in January 2023, will be leaping from one company to the other, taking all the staff who would otherwise have been laid off with it. In a PR statement, Krafton describes this as its "first significant investment in the Japanese video game market", though other video game IP from Tango including Ghostwire

Just over a year ago, Shinji Mikami - he of directing the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4 fame - was confirmed to be leaving Tango Gameworks, the studio that he had co-founded over a decade earlier to create a modern successor to his survival-horror classics, The Evil Within. Read more

With Resident Evil, RE2, RE3, the original Resident Evil 4, and even the likes of Dino Crisis and its sequel under his belt, it's not surprising that The Evil Within isn't the first Shinji Mikami survival horror game that most people would name. But that doesn't make it any less valuable, and if you enjoyed his other work or the genre in general, I'd mark The Evil Within as a game you owe it to yourself to try - and it's a free game right now, so don't miss your chance.

The Epic Games Store has confirmed next week's free games, one of which is the very seasonally appropriate The Evil Within. If you were looking for a pretty good horror game to play through this Halloween, Epic Games has you covered. Starting October 19, you'll be able to claim the Tango Gameworks developed and Bethesda published The Evil Within, directed by none other than Resident Evil 1 through 4 director Shinji Mikami. Released in 2014, The Evil Within very much feels like a spiritual successor of sorts to the Resident Evil 4 era of games, where you play as Sebastian Castellanos, a former

The PlayStation Plus Premium lineup for April has been revealed, and with it comes some amazing titles to dive into. The Essential line-up for April was revealed two weeks ago, detailing that Sackboy: A Big Adenture, Tails of Iron, and Meet Your Maker would be coming to the first tier of the service. As for those with Extra and Premium, you can expect a lot more bang for your buck. It also just so happens that Xbox Game Pass subscribers might be familiar with a few of these titles, as most of them are Microsoft-licensed. Read more

In an internal email sent to ZeniMax employees and shared by TrueAchievements, it has come to light that Shinji Mikami is reportedly leaving Tango Gameworks. The email comes from Bethesda’s senior vice president, Todd Vaughn, and reveals that Shinji Mikami will be leaving the company after 12 years. “I am writing today to let you know that studio head Shinji Mikami has decided to lead Tango Gameworks in the coming months,” Vaughn explained.

After making a big splash on Game Pass, it turns out rhythm game Hi-Fi Rush contains a very hidden easter egg, pointing to the possibility of The Evil Within 3. With The Evil Within 2 almost six years old, a return to the survival horror series would definitely be welcome, especially coming from Tango Gameworks, the studio founded by Resident Evil maestro Shinji Mikami.

Halloween is right around the corner, and I don’t know about any of you, but it’s definitely one of my favourite holidays of the year. Mainly because, unlike Christmas (in which I rarely get to relax, let alone boot up a game), it’s the perfect excuse for me to kick back and chill out with my favourite genre of game, and that’s horror. Admittedly, I’ve jumped on the Halloween bandwagon rather late this year. I’ve failed to decorate my flat with cardboard bats and fake cobwebs, and I’m still yet to go and acquire candy for any trick-or-treaters. That said, I dove into Xbox Game Pass recently to

The PC rendition of Game Pass received a boost last week when it was reported that its revised ports of Platinum Games' Nier Automata and Tango Game Works' The Evil Within were actually improved over the Steam equivalents. It was seemingly good news for PC gamers: two critically acclaimed titles received sub-optimal PC versions, and while limiting improved versions to Game Pass only is problematic, at least it's a step in the right direction... or is it? In our tests, we noted some content improvements on The Evil Within - albeit with a huge caveat attached - while the underlying performance i

Nier: Automata is better on Xbox Game Pass PC than on Steam, it has emerged. The PC version of Nier: Automata that launched into Xbox Game Pass this week is a port of the Nier: Automata Become as Gods Edition that launched on Xbox One in 2018 with the DLC thrown in. This port, handled by developer QLOC, includes a number of enhancements, such as a borderless video setting, FidelityFX options, HDR, and user interface textures upscaled to 4k. The borderless video setting is particularly welcome - it means Nier: Automata runs at the right resolution when it boots. In a post on Facebook, QLOC said

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I felt strongly about The Evil Within when it first came out. By “strongly” I mean I pretty much hated it. (more…)

US President Donald Trump yesterday held a private meeting to discuss the issue of violence in video games, having suggested after February’s murders at a school in Parkland, Florida that it “is really shaping young people’s thoughts.” This would clearly amount to nothing productive, given mostly industry representatives and conservative pressure groups were attending, but it is a surprise that Trump showed attendees a short video montage of video game deaths. The White House have released this publicly, so we can all see a sloppy montage of deaths from Call of Duty: Mo

You probably know what to expect when you load up a game called The Evil Within . There will be a bunch of logos before you get to the menu and at least one of them will involve barbed wire, splattered blood and sinister fonts. The logo for the first game turned some of the letters of the title into a nail that was variously plunging toward an eyeball or piercing a brain. Of course it did. That’s what horror games do. When the horror games in question are made by Tango Gameworks, though, there’s something else in between all that noisy violence. A cheeky cartoon snail…doing a

Last week I popped off to play Bethesda and Tango Gameworks’ upcoming survival horror sequel The Evil Within 2, which adds open world elements to its stomp through a town filled with science-gone-wrong monstrosities. You can read what I thought about it in my Evil Within 2 impressions here, or alternatively you can watch what I did and how many times I got killed by snickering things in the hour-long video below.
