October is upon us, and that means it’s time to get all spooktacular with your video games. (Yes, I prefer to make cartoon-appropriate puns around horror.) The Evil Within 2 launches this Friday the 13th, and with little over a week to go until the new horror opus, Bethesda have provided a set of system requirements.

The Evil Within 2 comes from the mind of Shinji Mikami, who redefined horror gaming – twice – with his work on Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4. The first game was a flawed piece with loads of interesting wrinkles, and the sequel looks to be addressing those flaws while expanding into an open world setting.
