Has The Evil Within 2 Been Outed By A Japanese Job Listing? - Report

It looks like a Japanese job listing may have outed the existence of The Evil Within 2 - a follow-up to Bethesda's survival horror game, created by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami.

An eagle-eyed NeoGAF user - Dusk Golem - clocked the job listing for Psyco Break 2 (the game's Japanese name) and posted it on the forum. The translation seems to suggest a calling for a Q&A tester and translator, citing the role will last between April 10th and October 31st. 

We already know the game sold well enough to warrant a sequel (at least that's what Bethesda has said), so this news isn't a total surprise. 

If true, we'll likely see an announcement for the title at E3, where Bethesda once again has its own showcase.

Are you excited about the prospect of a sequel for the game, or does the idea not interest you at all? Let us know below.

  • im for it!.. actually, when I read some of the blogs, you would think that this was the worst horror game ever created! I found it rather enjoyable albeit challenging. Some of the detail and chapters were pretty unreal. I liked the farm house battle with the fields of sunflowers before the burning barn, and chapter 11, the decimated crushed city with falling structures and infected police officers and hanging bodies over bodies of water with the hybrid zombie shark.. awesome game!. To have a sequel, its going to be pretty thrilling!!
  • It's a damn great game. The only problem i feel is that the game doesn't really reveal its genius until the second playthrough; which was fine by me, but not well received by the general public. In addition the game only truly sings on high difficulty settings as that really gives the player the intended feeling of anxiety and pressure.
  • @Comment #2 by pskid247 As a new IP it was well received with 4.1 million in sales.
  • This is one of my favorite games this generation so I'm glad it's getting a sequel. Would be awesome if it released this year!
  • Bring it on! Evil Within is a classic!
  • Enjoyed it a lot but it isn't without its flaws which I am assuming was a set up for the sequel. Biggest peeve though hat be the dude's stamina, I mean seriously how can you only run for like 7-10 seconds and then stop to catch your breath when you are being chased by murdering demon guys.
  • I found gameplay to be awesome, especially on hard. Survival horror the way it's meant to be. Lots of sneaking around and conserving ammo for only the toughest of foes. It's just suck that story really only got a good explanation in DLC, but since I've had season pass I can't complain. Probably one of the best DLC's this gen IMO. Was wondering when sequel would surface, so here is to hoping it will be this Halloween. Bethesda usually doesn't keep us waiting long after announcement, so if it's at E3, it's time for some more sick mayhem=D
