Back in June, Bethesda revealed The Evil Within 2, with Shinji Mikami and his studio Tango Gameworks working on the follow-up to their bizarre and mind-bending Survival Horror game. Set for release on October 13, we recently spent some time with it at both GamesCom and QuakeCon, and got to see just what the team has in-mind for Sebastian's second go around in a world of nightmares and dreamscapes--and we came away feeling pretty positive about what's coming up.

During QuakeCon, GameSpot also had the chance to chat with the creative team behind The Evil Within 2, including game director John Johanas (previously worked on the Kidman DLC missions for the original game), lead writer Trent Haaga, whose past work includes several horror-comedy and indie-thrillers such as 68 Kill and Dead Girl--and of course, one of the early pioneers of the Survival Horror genre and creator of the Resident Evil series, Shinji Mikami. While taking a more advisory role as Studio Director, Mikami was pleased with how the game turned out with the new creative leads. Our talk covered the ambitious changes coming to The Evil Within 2, and the current state of the Survival Horror genre.
