As promised earlier this week, Bethesda has officially announced The Assignment, the first DLC content for The Evil Within. It’s on the way next month on all platforms.
We know that the DLC will star detective Juli Kidman, though further details are a little thin on the ground right now. A teaser video released alongside the announcement reveals very little.
Kidman is a main character from the core game, and will apparently be the focus of the first two of The Evil Within[/b’s three planned DLC packs. The last will star box-headed murder enthusiast The Keeper.
“We approached the DLC from the perspective that, while Juli is enigmatic during the main game, there were additionally lots of other mysteries about the world and the characters that could be cleared up or hinted at by playing as her,” explained the DLC’s game director John Johanas back in December. “She is a character who seems rather “aware” of her situation, after all.”
Johanas, who takes over the game’s story duties from horror game icon Shinji Mikami, says the new content will “shed a lot of light on the lore of Ruvik, STEM, and the characters while asking (and answering) a whole new set of questions regarding Juli and her mission.”
We know it’s on the way next month, but there’s no official date for The Assignment as yet. Bethesda promises more information soon.
