Video game treatment for a cult classic

Evil Dead is a horror media franchise that was created by director Sam Raimi. It garnered a cult following through the years, with its first-ever 1981 movie being regarded as one of the most successful films ever made.

In this adaptation, you'll play Ash Williams, as well as other iconic characters from the films, including Scotty, Kelly Maxwell, and more. Play co-op in a team of four as you fend off Deadites unleashed by an ancient text known as the Book of the Dead.

What's more, you can brandish your signature chainsaw, short barrel shotgun, and many other weapons to dish out deadlier and gruesome finishes. As mentioned earlier, the game is set to be released on May 13, 2022, but you can already pre-order it via its official Epic Games Store page now. You'll also get some nice in-game bonuses that include two outfits for Ash to wear.
