The Evil Within 2 Tie-In Comics

Resident Evil series creator Shinji Mikami returns with the survival horror game The Evil Within sequel that was announced at E3. The game starts and quickly delves into the new story without pausing for us to catch on what happened between The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2. The opted gap is still pretty foggy to us. So, Bethesda Softworks has teamed up with Titan Comics to produce a prequel story for The Evil Within 2.

This two-part comic book will solely feature on the perspective of Detective Sebastian Castellanos. He is already pretty disturbed with the events that took place in the previous game and now he is back to deal with another problem like that.

Detective Sebastian used to work in Krimson City Police Department but then suddenly he is introduced with this unexpected nightmare alley, where his life gets messed up pretty badly. The guy lost his job, loved ones and now he is at the brink of losing his sanity. So, it is safe to say that Sebastian's life isn't a very charming one right now.

In this comic titled "The Interlude", Sebastian Castellanos is on the hunt of a serial killer, who is on a murdering spree. What bothers him is that the killer is hunting down his victims like the way Ruvik did. Problem is, Ruvik used to kill people in the exact fashion but only inside of STEM. This killer, our hero is after actually killing people in the same style but in the real world. Now, that is a very uncanny co-incidence to overlook for anyone, let alone Detective Sebastian.

To get the story in order, comic-book writer Ryan O’Sullivan (Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III, Turncoat), artists Damien Worm (Dark Souls, The October Faction) and Szymon Kudranski (Spawn, Daredevil/Punisher) were brought in for the project. Ryan believes the game to be a perfect match for his test as he is a fan of games like Alone in the Dark, Amnesia, Dead Space, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and System Shock.

Damien is a dedicated fan of horror games, whether it is survival horror or adventure in the mix. Silent Hill and Dino Crisis from 90's are among Szymon's favorites. They both played the first game and loved it. So, working on the prequel comic-book project for the sequel game was an exciting experience for them for sure.

Friday the 13th of October 2017 is marked for the worldwide release of The Evil Within 2 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. So, if you are truly drawn towards the horror-mysteries of the game, be sure to pick up the prequel comics series before you play the game.
