‘The Evil Within’ Avatar Costumes, Dynamic PS3 Theme Incoming

The Evil Within

I haven’t touched a virtual hair on my Xbox Avatar’s head in years. Part of the reason for this is I keep forgetting he exists, because I so rarely see that beautiful guy unless I boot up my Xbox 360, which seems to be the only place left where Avatars still matter. I also haven’t seen anything worthy enough to improve on him. I mean, he’s pretty great, right?

With The Evil Within just around the corner, that’s about to change.

To celebrate Mikami’s return to horror, we’ll be getting a slew of Avatar goodies for Xbox 360 and Xbox One that includes a “Keeper” costume (the guy with the hammer and a safe on his head), costumes for some of the game’s cast, a creepy mask worn by some guy in one of the earlier trailers, and some miscellaneous other related stuff. No word on pricing or a release date, but withThe Evil Within less than two months away, I imagine it’ll arrive soon.

Is anyone else a little bummed out there’s no four-armed blood witch pet? I’d buy that immediately.

PS3 in need of an update for the coming Halloween season? You should consider grabbing the dynamic theme inspired by The Evil Within that will be available early next week. You can see it in action here. If you like pre-ordering stuff, you can do that from virtually any games retailer of your choosing here.

The Evil Within hits PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.
