Bethesda Softworks today revealed the cast lending their voices to The Evil Within, a survival horror game developed at Tango Gameworks under the direction of legendary game designer and studio head, Shinji Mikami. The Evil Within cast includes Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley (Lincoln, Watchmen, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Jennifer Carpenter (“Dexter,” Quarantine, The Exorcism of Emily Rose), and film and television star Anson Mount (“Hell on Wheels,” Safe).
The Evil Within embodies the meaning of pure survival horror. Highly-crafted environments, horrifying anxiety, and an intricate story are combined to create an immersive world that will bring players to the height of tension. With limited resources at their disposal, players will fight for survival and experience profound fear in this perfect blend of horror and action.
Jackie Earle Haley lends his voice to the game’s main antagonist, Ruvik. Anson Mount assumes the role of lead protagonist Sebastian Castellanos. Players assume the role of Sebastian, a veteran police detective, throughout the game in their terrifying struggle for survival.
Rounding out the cast is Jennifer Carpenter as Juli Kidman, Sebastian’s Junior Detective partner. As part of recently announced Season Pass plans, players will be able to assume the role of Juli Kidman in post-launch content to experience The Evil Within from an entirely new perspective.
“One of the most crucial elements to any successful survival horror game is the setting and sound, which includes the depth and authenticity of the voice acting,” said Mikami. “We brought together a great cast of experienced actors to help ensure that players really believe our characters emotions and the tension they feel in every scene.”
In The Evil Within, Detective Sebastian Castellanos and his partners are called in to investigate a gruesome mass murder. After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead. Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel whats behind this evil force.
The Evil Within will be available on October 14 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
