The Bethesda Softworks-published survival horror title The Evil Within, from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and his studio, Tango Gameworks, will be released a week earlier than expected. The date had been October 21, but now the game will arrive in North America on October 14,  Australia on October 16 and Europe on October 18, as the game’s official Twitter feed confirms.

The game follows the story of Sebastian Castellenos, a detective who gets caught up in a grotesque, supernatural world while investigating a mass murder.  The Evil Within aims to return to the fundamentals of the survival horror genre, a genre that Shinji Mikami helped pioneer with the original Resident Evil, by balancing action with tension-filled puzzle-solving. For more details on the game, check out our recent preview.

So get ready to be scared this October, when The Evil Within lands on PC and PlayStation/Xbox consoles.

If you're the kind of person who plans vacations around vintage arcades, hunts down rare pinball machines, or misses that one table you played years ago, there's now a surprisingly useful tool built just for you.

Called Pinball Map, the free website and mobile app does exactly what its name suggests. It helps players locate public pinball machines almost anywhere in the world, whether they're tucked away inside dedicated arcades, neighborhood bars, restaurants, museums, breweries, or even campgrounds. Think of it as Google Maps, but instead of helping you find coffee shops, it points you to your next pinball game.

ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18.
