Horror games are slowly making a return to the AAA space, and Saber Interactive's Evil Dead: The Game is one such upcoming example. The Dead by Daylight-esque title focuses on asymmetrical multiplayer. It is also based on the iconic horror franchise by Sam Raimi.
Fans will play the role of iconic Evil Dead characters like Ash Williams and go up against the supernatural terrors conjured up by the Necronomicon, also known as the Book of the Dead. With co-op and PvP modes contributing to the meat of the game, the title features four Survivors facing one powerful demon.
Fans are understandably hyped about the game and will be pleased to know that the game will launch very soon, on 13 May 2022.

The launch was originally supposed to occur at 7 AM PST/10 AM EST/3 PM BST, so this last-minute change is much appreciated.
