Though it seemed likely to release in February, Saber Interactive’s Evil Dead: The Game has been delayed again. It’s now set to release on May 13th which should provide the team “the time they need to get things just right,” as per the developer on Twitter.
Pre-order information and a brand new trailer will be going live next month so expect some new information while waiting. Announced at The Game Awards 2020, Evil Dead: The Game follows Ash Williams along with other characters from the franchise like Kelly Maxwell and Pablo Simon Bolivar. Together, they must fight off the forces of evil in co-op.
Alternatively, players can engage in PvP by possessing the survivors and other Deadites along with a Kandarian Demon to take down the humans. There will be several maps based on the films (such as the famous cabin in the woods) and numerous weapons to fight with like the classic chainsaw. Evil Dead: The Game is currently in development for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC and Nintendo Switch.

This delay gives our team the time they need to get things just right, so your boomstick will be polished, fully loaded, and ready to blast Deadites on that Friday the 13th of May. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
