Evil Dead: The Game has different variations of Ashley Williams, the franchise's main protagonist, with one Ash for each of the game's four Survivor classes, plus one Demon. In addition to the many variations of Evil Dead's beloved Ash Williams, there is a roster of Survivors for players to choose from. Alternatively, players can opt to play as the Demon, facing off against the team of Survivors using a unique set of abilities. There are three different classes of Demon with nine different Demon characters in total for players to choose from, including yet another variation of Ashley Williams: Evil Ash.

Evil Dead: The Game is a 4 vs 1 asymmetrical survival horror game from Saber Interactive for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. A future port to Nintendo Switch is planned. Based on the Evil Dead franchise, the co-op game features characters from all three original Evil Dead films, as well as the STARZ Ash vs Evil Dead television series. This isn't the first Evil Dead video game, as a trilogy of Evil Dead games was released in the early 2000s. Ash Williams has also made guest appearances in other video games, most recently and notably the survival horror game Dead by Daylight.
