The Evil Within 2, on which Mikami served as Executive Producer, was directed by John Johans (creator of Hi-Fi Rush). In Kotaku’s review of The Evil Within 2, we said:

Rather than shy away from its B-movie foundation, however, Evil Within 2 revels in it. Screenplay writer Trent Haaga–whose resume includes films like Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula and Splatter Disco–knows his way around the genre and imbues the story with an air of familiar absurdity. The game is over-the-top and melodramatic, but ultimately it’s a touching take on guilt, sacrifice, and redemption.

The first Evil Within will run for free on the Epic Games Store from October 19 to 26. The Evil Within 2 will be available for free download from October 26 to November 2, 2023.
