Evil Dead: The Game Coming May 13th 2022
One of our all-time favourite horror franchises is getting a new game: Evil Dead! It’s one we’ve been excited about since it was first announced, after all - who wouldn’t want to play as Ash Williams!? A co-op PvP and PvE multiplayer action game, inspired by the iconic horror and humour of the "Evil Dead" universe, Evil Dead: The Game is set to release on May 13, 2022 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4/PS5 and PC via Epic Games Store. Groovy!
I was even so on-brand at Christmas, wearing my Cavity Colors The Evil Dead t-shirt!
Pre-orders for Evil Dead: The Game went live yesterday on all platforms alongside a new trailer that you can watch here. Pre-ordering any version of Evil Dead: The Game gets you two bonus Ash outfits: the Ash Williams S-Mart Employee Outfit and the Ash Williams Gallant Knight Outfit - both iconic looks that any Army of Darkness fan will appreciate.
The Standard Edition of Evil Dead: The Game is now available for pre-order for £31.99/£33.49/£34.99, while the Deluxe Edition is available for £47.99/£49.99 and includes Season Pass 1. Season Pass 1 includes four upcoming DLC packs at a discount, with more information to be announced. Prices dependent on platform.
In addition to the standard edition of the game, Boss Team Games are producing two special physical Collector's Editions that also went up for pre-order yesterday, from the official Boss Team Games store at https://store.bossteamgames.com.
The Collector's Edition includes: the Deluxe Edition of the game with Season Pass 1, an exclusive in-game skin for Ash designed by Tom Savini, exclusive steel case, collectible box, hardcover artbook, original vinyl soundtrack, exclusive T-shirt, and five art cards, all for $124.99.
The Ultimate Collector’s Edition includes all of the above content, as well as a full-size replica Evil Dead II Book of the Dead Necronomicon Prop by Trick or Treat Studios and licensed by STUDIOCANAL, for $199.99 - although this one sadly sold out before I could even react. As a huge Evil Dead fan, I am heartbroken to have missed out on this baby, as it looks absolutely amazing. Hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on one at some point!
Evil Dead: The Game brings the biggest characters from the franchise together in an over-the-top, gore-filled action experience against the forces of darkness. Work as a team of four survivors, including Ash, Kelly Maxwell, Pablo Simon Bolivar, Scotty, Lord Arthur and more, to kick Deadite butt and banish the vile Kandarian Demon. Or become the mighty Demon yourself, using your powers of possession to stop the good guys dead and swallow their souls! Discover fan-favorite sights from the franchise, battle with more than 25 hard-hitting weapons in multiplayer and the game’s bonus single-player missions, and level up a variety of skill trees to survive the night.
Evil Dead: The Game is officially licensed by Boss Team Games from Renaissance Pictures, STUDIOCANAL, leading entertainment company Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM), and global content leader Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B) to develop the first multi-platform console and PC game based on "The Evil Dead,” “Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn,” and “Army of Darkness” films and the STARZ “Ash vs Evil Dead” television series. The game is being developed and published by Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games.
Evil Dead: The Game will release on May 13, 2022, for PC via Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. It is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch in the future.
