By the end of the year, Evil Dead fans will be battling the forces of evil together – or playing as the forces of evil – in Evil Dead: The Game, and a gameplay trailer narrated by franchise star Bruce Campbell has arrived online to give us a preview of how awesome and bloody this game is going to be. Check it out in the embed above!
Evil Dead: The Game is a co-op and PvP multiplayer game that will allow fans to
work together as a team of four survivors, exploring, looting, crafting, managing your fear, and finding key artifacts to seal the breach between worlds. Or take control of the powerful Kandarian Demon to hunt Ash and his friends while possessing Deadites, the environment, and even the survivors themselves as you seek to swallow their souls!
Plenty of surprises await in this gore-filled battle against evil that captures the characters, horror, humor, and action from the franchise. Battle across memorable locations including the infamous cabin in the woods, brought to life with tons of terrifying visuals and all-new dialogue from Bruce Campbell. Discover more than 25 weapons, including Ash’s Gauntlet, Boomstick, and chainsaw, and advance in a variety of skill trees to grow stronger and survive in this fun co-op and PvP experience.
Playable characters include Ash Williams, Ash's sister Cheryl, Scott from the original The Evil Dead, Lord Arthur from Army of Darkness, Kelly from Ash vs. Evil Dead, Pablo from Ash vs. Evil Dead, and a Kandarian demon. Judging by the trailer, there are a couple others in the mix as well.
The result of a collaboration between Saber Interactive, Boss Team Games, Renaissance Pictures, STUDIOCANAL, MGM, and Lionsgate, Evil Dead: The Game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC sometime in 2021.
