Boss Team Games Announces Evil Dead: The Game

Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive dropped a might big surprise at The Game Awards 2020 with Evil Dead: The Game. As you might suspect, the game is fully playing on all of the previous lore of the franchise from the films and the TV series, as you play Ash Williams along with three companions from different points in his history with the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. Everything in the game is based on the works and characters created by Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, and Bruce Campbell, but for some reason there doesn't seem to be any references to the 2013 film they produced. Perhaps done so just to keep things simple for longtime fans. You'll be working as a group in this massive co-op experience, which will remind a lot of you familiar with Saber's work of World War Z. Evil Dead: The Game is due out sometime in 2021, but int he meantime, enjoy the trailer and the info from the devs below. Along with a word from Campbell himself.

Williams across multiple films and the recent STARZ original Ash vs. Evil Dead television series. "Boss Team and Saber Interactive are planning a huge immersive dealio, and I knew I had to come back. You'll be able to step into my shoes and kick some Deadite ass!
