Evil Dead: the Game Delayed Until May

Originally set for release in Feb., Evil Dead: the Game will now release on May 13, 2022 for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch and PC.

This decision shouldn’t be too surprising. Not only is Feb. a couple days away, it has a number of high profile titles that likely would’ve eclipsed Evil Dead: the Game anyway.

If you haven’t followed Evil Dead: the Game thus far, you can find the official overview below:

Step into the shoes of Ash Williams or his friends from the iconic Evil Dead franchise and work together in a game loaded with over-the-top co-op and PVP multiplayer action! Play as a team of four survivors, exploring, looting, managing your fear, and finding key items to seal the breach between worlds in a game inspired by all three original Evil Dead films as well as the Starz original Ash vs Evil Dead television series.

Iconic Characters – Play as characters from throughout the Evil Dead universe, including Ash, Scotty, Lord Arthur, Kelly Maxwell, & more, with new dialogue performed by Bruce Campbell & others!

Play As Good or Evil – Fight for the forces of good or take control of the Kandarian Demon to hunt Ash & others while possessing Deadites, the environment & more as you seek to swallow their souls!

Over the Top Visuals – Whether you’re tearing a Deadite in 2 with Ash’s chainsaw hand or flying across the map as the Kandarian Demon, realistic visuals & physics-based gore brings the horror to life!

This…Is My Boomstick – Brandish your short barrel shotgun, chainsaw, cleavers and more to do some delightfully gruesome violence against the armies of darkness.
