For those who had the game pre-ordered, they will receive the "Fighting Chance Pack," which includes:

1 - Medical Kit - A vital health enhancement to enable the protagonist to keep fighting.
2 - Green Gel - Used to upgrade the protagonists' attributes.
3 - Double Barrel Shotgun and Three Shells - A bigger and more revered shotgun than the regular shotgun. This is particularly useful for tight situations with multiple intruding enemies.

5 - Poison Agony Bolt - Draws enemies towards it and poison them, buying the protagonist time for a quick escape.

Meanwhile, the screenshots reveal the regular enemies of "The Evil Within" but the monstrosities from the original trailer were not shown and possibly will not be in the game. Rather, they appear like fairly standard zombie types, with the exception of the character model that has a spike driven through its head, which might indicate that headshots are no longer an easy solution already.
