Evil Dead: The Game was first announced at the 2020 Game Awards with a trailer featuring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams himself. It was slated to be released in 2021 but was delayed. The game launched on May 13, 2022, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
It received post-launch support in the form of the Splatter Royale and Army of Darkness updates as well as a Game of the Year Edition on consoles.
In GameSpot's Evil Dead: The Game review, we said, «Evil Dead: The Game is faithful, but sometimes to a fault. If there were more game modes or even more varied objectives in its one attractive game mode, it would feel more like a game for horror fans to play for a long time, maybe even moving competitors like Dead By Daylight or Hunt Showdown off their vaunted pedestals.»
