Bethesda Blog announces The Evil Within is gold, and the completion of the survival horror game puts it on track for release on October 14th in Europe and North America, October 16th in New Zealand and Australia, and October 23rd for Japan. They also offer recommended system specifications for the game, saying they do not have a minimum spec to provide, simply saying they "cannot guarantee optimal performance" on systems that don't meet the following outline:

Recommended PC System Specifications

• i7 with four plus cores
• 4 GBs RAM
• 50 GB of hard drive space*

*It’s worth noting that the 50 GB of space required is for the PC install. When the installation is complete, the game will take up ~41 GB of HDD space.
