Evil Dead: The Game Delayed to February 2022

Saber Interactive’s Evil Dead: The Game, a co-op and PvP title based on the legendary horror movie series, has been delayed to February 2022. Developed by Boss Games for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC, it was originally slated to release in 2021. The publisher confirmed that the additional time was for “polish” and “to ensure this is the ultimate Evil Dead experience you’re all waiting for” along with implementing a single-player option.

More details on characters and pre-order availability will be provided in the future. The next gameplay video will also feature Bruce Campbell, which seems to indicate that the man himself will make an appearance. Campbell reprises his role as Ash Williams with other characters like Kelly Maxwell (played by Dana DeLorenzo) and Pablo Simon Bolivar (Ray Santiago) being from the Ash vs. Evil Dead TV show.

Evil Dead: The Game offers a number of different maps and over 25 weapons for players to use like the chainsaw. Each character has their own unique abilities and can take on the Kandarian Demon in PvP who possesses different objects to wreak havoc. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months.

We want to thank everyone for your understanding and support and please stay tuned for more information about new character updates, pre-order availability, and the next gameplay video featuring Bruce Campbell.

This additional time is also allowing us to implement a single-player option that will let you enjoy the game when you are without your co-op compadres.
