It was only a matter of time before people found out about The Evil Within 2 PC version secretly harboring a first-person mode, more surprisingly though is the support the developer Tango Gameworks has now given.

After PC gamers finding the mode through an easy console input and many players taking a liking to the new mode, Tango Gameworks decided to officially support the mode across all platforms.

The first-person mode is now has a toggle option after todays update, Shinsaku Ohara, producer for The Evil Within 2 explained his thoughts on the topic "We like to think of it as a 'high-level hack' so we don't want people to compare this with DOOM or anything like that. There were some scenes that just didn't work, so it jumps back and forth a bit to third-person. But we made sure the game's an enjoyable experience and hopefully people will enjoy playing in this mode"
