Evil Dead: The Game Should Feature an Evil Dead Remake DLC

Evil Dead: The Game features content from the original Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, and Ash vs. Evil Dead. However, one omission sticks out sorely. Evil Dead: The Game does not seem to be addressing the Evil Dead film from 2013, which was intended to either be a remake or reboot of the classic horror film. It is unclear if this is purposeful or if that content is instead being reserved for a later date, but there are several reasons why Saber Interactive should include it at some point.

Evil Dead purists may not consider the 2013 remake to be a part of the overarching lore or IP, especially since it takes a much gorier and grisly approach to Sam Raimi’s whimsical franchise, but Bruce Campbell’s appearance in a post-credits scene from the film concretely confirms its legitimacy. Evil Dead: The Game would be remiss not to include the Evil Dead remake in its asymmetrical horror, if for no other reason than needing additional content for future updates.

Just as Evil Dead: The Game has added characters from its existing IPs as survivors and demons, characters from the remake could be introduced. Evil Dead’s remake follows siblings Mia and David Allen, as well as Eric, Olivia, and Natalie as a group of friends who take a trip to a remote cabin in order to surprise Mia with a drug intervention. Each of these characters could make iconic reprisals and fit neatly into Evil Dead: The Game’s survivor roles as either Support, Hunter, Warrior, or Leader characters.

Moreover, an Evil Dead remake DLC could introduce weapons such as crowbars, nail guns, or electric hand saws as seen in the film. If that is where the extent of an Evil Dead remake DLC ended, that could still
