Hi-Fi Rush Has an Easter Egg That Very Well May Be Teasing The Evil Within 3
An Easter Egg on a screen near the end of Hi-Fi Rush very well may be teasing The Evil Within 3.
As reported by GamesRadar, this screen in question is visible for less than a second during a cinematic that plays before Track 11: The Needle Drop and takes place in an elevator. You can see the screen in the image below or in action courtesy of YouTuber Shirrako, and can see, on the bottom, it says, “Sequel to popular survival horror game franchise announced.”

Now, this could just be a fun nod to The Evil Within and not the tease of an announcement, as there are other Easter Eggs to the franchise in Hi-Fi Rush, including robots who look just like Sebastian Castellanos and Joseph Oda. That being said, it is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of moment and could be a fun thing for fans to find and start theorizing about.
Uncharted 3 did something similar when it included a newspaper that teased The Last of Us. That particular Easter Egg was actually not meant to make it to the final game, so it will be interesting to see what the true story is behind this one.
Tango Gameworks released The Evil Within 2 in 2017 and, in our review, we said, “Although a disjointed plot and weak protagonist make it slow to get started, being pursued through an intriguingly bizarre world by plentiful and disturbing monsters kept my palms sweaty and my heart in my throat thanks to a strict adherence to the most important survival horror rule: you should always be on the back foot.”
It could well be time for a new entry in The Evil Within franchise and it would keep the momentum going for Tango Gameworks after it took the world by storm with the shadow drop of Hi-Fi Rush.
