See The Evil Within 2's Gameplay Trailer

The Evil Within, when first announced, was promised to be a return to survival horror's roots, and deliver a new and interesting take on tired-and-true survival horror tropes. It could be argued it delivered on most of those promises, but unfortunately, not many would argue it did it especially well. It was ambitious and earnest, but it just lacked that spark that helps really seperate the men from the mice in the survival horror subgenre.

...But it sold well enough so we're getting a sequel.

. Plagued by memories of the daughter he couldnt save and a mystery he could never solve, he begins to lose himself in his past mistakes. Sebastian lives out his nightmares every day, unable to pull himself from his downward spiral. Until an old friend-turned-traitor reenters his life with an offer: Return to the nightmare and save your daughter. The Evil Within 2 gives a broken man the chance to make things right and find the peace he so deserves, but hell have to go through hell first.

So that's pretty cool. Looks like it could be a fun action game, if not an especially effective survival horror. Hard to ramp up the fear when you've got a proximity mine launcher on your back, you know?

Anyway. If you're so enticed by his trailer that you decide to pre-order the game, exciting news! You'll get some pre-order bonuses, called the "Last Chance pack", which contains:

• The Burst Handgun: This exclusive weapon is only available through The Last Chance Pack and uses handgun bullets that can be found or crafted.
• Crafting Supplies: Upgrade your go-to weapon, craft additional ammo, or make traps to incapacitate enemies with these supplies available at the start of your descent into Union.
• Medical Supplies: You'll need to stay alive to save Lily, and these medical supplies will give you the aid you need to venture deeper into the madness.

You can get your hands on The Evil Within 2 on Friday, October 13th when it launches for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
