The Evil Within 2: Bethesda shows us the different approaches that we can have in the game

Bethesda has released today a new movie about The Evil Within 2 which shows how in this new episode of horror series we can customize even more the experience thanks to a deeper review of weapons and abilities of Sebastian Castellanos, allowing us to have different approaches to action.

Before I leave you to your movie, that's how Bethesda explains these new features:


This time, the personalization system of Sebastian and his favorite equipment will be more flexible. No longer need green gel to customize Sebastian or weapons, so you will no longer be called upon to decide how to spend this precious resource. The gel will only strengthen Sebastian, while parts of weapons will be used to strengthen its arsenal.

Customizing Sebastian can be subdivided into five categories, including enhancement parameters such as "recover more health care objects" or "minimize the oscillation of the crosshairs of firearms". You can also unlock special abilities, but will cost dear in terms of green gel. For example, if you are investing in combat, you can unlock a skill called hail of bullets, which temporarily increases the damage each hit in a row (the effects end after expiry of the time or with the depletion of ammunition). These are active skills that can make life in Union a little easier. However, amassing the resources needed to unlock them in practice means sacrificing other passive enhancements of some importance.

Among the upgrades planned for Sebastian we:

  • Health – investing a little green gel in the branch of health you will have the ability to survive attacks that otherwise you would kill him. This is also the way to go if you want to increase the vital bar of Sebastian.
  • Stealth – as well as enabling faster movements from squatting, the branch of stealth enables silent killings from around corners while remaining hidden.
  • Combat – if your Sebastian is more prone to physical fight, investing in branch of combat you can, among other things, increase the damage with melee attacks and reduce the recoil of the firearm.
  • Recovery – Recovery branch is designated for players who know what it will be hard for Sebastian survive this nightmare. Among the upgrades we have a faster restoration of health once you reach a critical State and the ability to automatically use a medical syringe when you suffer fatal damage.
  • Athletics – for Sebastian that focus on movement, Athletic branch enhancement options can increase the energy bar and have a chance to Dodge automatically certain types of attacks.

Within the possibilities of customizing your own firearms, such as the gun and the shotgun, you can modify firepower, ammunition Capacity, charging time and rate of fire, each of which could save your skin in particularly difficult situations.

To the crossbow entirely different upgrades are planned, though it will require the use of weapon parts. You can spend the weapon parts to increase the scope of the crossbow or to reduce the time required to take aim, and to change some parameters specific to types of bolts used. Probably, you will develop a preference for certain types of darts at the expense of others, depending on whether you're a fan of diversion and stun effect offered respectively by smoke bombs and darts darts in electrical discharge, or if you prefer the destructive potential of Harpoon and explosive darts.

Create to advance

Once you have selected your weapons and your own style of play, you can focus on creating and stock up only what you really need.

"Our system of creating creates ammunition for the desired weapon" explains Johanas. "You don't have to rely only on those that you will be able to recover in the game world. Again, the goal is to let the player experience models, on the understanding that everything always depends on how much you are willing to explore and the resources you can find. "

The items collected in the course of exploration can be brought to work benches (found in shelters or scattered Union) for processing into various types of ammo and items. You won't miss the ammunition to collect in the game world, but they are rare and not always suited to your favorite weapon. If necessary, you can create them on the fly on the field, but it will be more expensive in terms of resources than creating them to work benches.

"You will be able to customize your experience to get ready for what awaits you, but in Union the danger is always lurking around every corner" promises Johanas. An essential element in this regard is the fact that you will never know what's around the next corner. "For me, the horror has to do with the sense of mystery, with the inability to fully understand everything that is going on around us" reveals Johanas. "When you can get your hands on The Evil Within 2, you will notice how the world, characters and, above all, Sebastian will be shrouded in mystery. A mystery that will be revealed only gradually progressing in the game, facing certain enemies or exploring the world. Sebastian finds himself in this new world without having the slightest idea what happened or is happening. All he knows is that he must save his daughter, and that's the only thing that really matters. "


We leave you now to your movie: good vision.
