Evil Dead: The Game Delayed, Sets New Spooky Release Date
The cooperative survival title Evil Dead: The Game, based on the hit horror comedy franchise, has been delayed again. Announced back in 2020, the game will allow multiple players to work together and take down Deadites while one gamer takes control of a monstrous demon. Evil Dead: The Game will feature Bruce Campbell as the voice of protagonist Ash Williams, apparently marking the actor's final performance as the lighthearted undead hunter.
Developed by Saber Interactive, Evil Dead: The Game appears to follow in the footsteps of other cooperative survival games like Friday the 13th: The Game and Dead by Daylight. Choosing from multiple playable characters from throughout the series, including Ash and Lord Arthur, players must battle through hordes of Deadites in order to collect pages of the Necronomicon. One player may also choose to control the Kandarian Demon itself, which is able to possess non-player characters in order to attack the survivors. Despite being announced back in 2020, Saber Interactive delayed Evil Dead: The Game until February 2022 in order to polish the terrifying title and add a single-player mode.
