Shinji Mikami’s gory survival horror title The Evil Within will take around 15 to 20 hours to complete, according to a representative from publisher Bethesda.
European PR manager Alistair Hatch posted on Twitter to answer fan speculation regarding the game’s length; ”Saw some people asking about it - we expect The Evil Within campaign to last 15-20 hours depending on play style and difficulty mode.”
That’s a fairly lengthy campaign for an action horror game, but (and you might be shocked to hear this) I’m sure Hatch is leaning towards the optimistic with that estimate. Still, with three add-on packs already confirmed, there should be plenty of opportunities to soil yourself when a man with a box on his head leaps at you wielding a chainsaw.
The Evil Within comes to PC and consoles on October 14 in North America and October 17 in Europe. You can check out our hands-on preview of the game right here.
