Last year we were hit with the double whammy of Starz canceling ASH VS EVIL DEAD and Bruce Campbell retiring from the role of Ash for the rest of time. Well, Campbell recently was out and about talking up his upcoming reboot of RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT? and while the chin did confirm that he will no longer be playing the role of Ash Williams (or Elvis in BUBBA HO-TEP 2) he did confirm the EVIL DEAD saga is far from, you know, dead.
They’re going to see different versions, they’re going to be seeing more ‘Evil Dead,’ too. We’re not done with the ‘Evil Dead’ saga, more stories to tell.
And today we have word via the man himself that there is at the very least a fully immersive EVIL DEAD: VIDEO GAME coming our way within the year. Sweet! Specifically, Campbell says:
We’ll see more Evil Dead, that’s for sure. There is an Evil Dead video game out. A fully immersive video game probably within a year. I’m not sure about the day. There will be variations of that. There won’t be the original Ash anymore. That guy is done.
So, a new video game – but without Ash. That's what I'm hearing here. If memory serves, other than some Android games here and there, the last true EVIL DEAD video game was EVIL DEAD: REGENERATION back in 2005. I'm not a big video game guy by any means so I could be wrong about that. Either way, how excited are you for a fully immersive EVIL DEAD video game? Make sure to hit us up and let us know below! Meanwhile, we will make sure to keep up to date with any and all further news and updates on this new fully immersive video game and pass along info as we hear it.
