I've heard that there is "Gore DLC" for the Japanese version of The Evil Within, so they can get away with a more lenient rating while still allowing players to play the game in all its violent glory.

Is this DLC just bringing it up to the levels of violence found in the western version of the game, or does it go beyond that? Or is the western version less violent / gory than the Japanese version with the Gore DLC?
