The Evil Within is a third-person survival horror video game developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game was directed by Resident Evil series creator Shinji Mikami and was released worldwide in October 2014 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows.
The game centers on protagonist Sebastian Castellanos as he is pulled through a distorted world full of nightmarish locations and horrid creatures. Played in a third-person perspective, players battle disfigured nightmare-like enemies, including bosses, using guns and melee weapons, and progress through the levels, avoiding traps, using stealth, and finding collectables.
The Evil Within received a generally positive reception upon release; praise was mostly directed at the game's horror elements and atmosphere, while criticism was directed at the game's story, characters and technical issues. A sequel, The Evil Within 2, was released on October 13, 2017.
The Fighting Chance Pack is a bonus content pack for The Evil Within. This content pack is only accessible to players who pre-ordered the game, or owns the limited Special Edition box set which contains the items. A release as generally available DLC has never been discussed by the developers, and given the length of time since the game's release it is unlikely to ever be implemented.
The package contains items that will be deposited into Sebastian Castellanos' inventory upon reaching Chapter 3:
Medical Kit
Double Barrel Shotgun
Incendiary Agony Bolt
Poison Agony Bolt
GreenGel 5,000
