We’ve known for a while that playable characters in the upcoming Evil Dead: The Game would include multiple versions of Evil Dead franchise hero Bruce Campbell, as well as his sidekicks Kelly and Pablo from the Ash vs. Evil Dead series, Scott from the original The Evil Dead, Lord Arthur from Army of Darkness, and a Kandarian Demon. Now the game’s developers have revealed that Evil Dead II characters Annie Knowby and Ed Getley are also in the mix. Information on the characters and their special skills were shared on the game’s social media accounts, along with details on the Ash vs. Evil Dead version of Ash that will be in the game. You can see them in the Twitter embeds below:

As described by Boss Team Games, Evil Dead: The Game is

the blood soaked co-op and PVP experience you’ve been waiting for. Step into the shoes of iconic horror hero Ash Williams (voiced once again by Bruce Campbell himself!) or join up to three of your friends in an over-the-top melee-shooter featuring wild weapons and crazy characters that only Evil Dead could cook up. You can also play as the vile Kandarian Demon and haunt the world in spirit form to terrorize survivors, spawning Deadites and controlling items throughout the environment! You can even possess players and control their characters while they fight to save their souls!

Evil Dead: The Game‘s voice cast includes Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, Ray Santiago and Dana DeLorenzo from Ash vs. Evil Dead as their characters Pablo and Kelly, Marcus Gilbert as Lord Arthur from Army of Darkness, and Ellen Sandweiss and Richard DeManincor (a.k.a. Hal Delrich) as their characters Cheryl and Scott from the original The Evil Dead, with “special appearances” by The Evil Dead‘s Betsy Baker and Theresa Tilly (a.k.a. Sarah York).

The game will be available to play on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. The game is the result of a collaboration between Saber Interactive, Boss Team Games, Renaissance Pictures, STUDIOCANAL, MGM, and Lionsgate.

The more we hear about this game, the cooler it sounds. Will you be playing it when it’s released on May 13th?
