The actor Bruce Campbell is beloved for his portrayal of the character Ash Williams in the Evil Dead series. Yesterday, it was revealed that Campbell will be reprising the role in the upcoming Evil Dead: The Game, which is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2021. Take a look at the trailer (you’ll have to be old enough to give it a watch on YouTube!):
What is there to expect from the game? Here’s what Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have to say:
Work together as a team of four survivors, exploring, looting, crafting, managing your fear, and finding key artifacts to seal the breach between worlds. Or take control of the powerful Kandarian Demon to hunt Ash and his friends while possessing Deadites, the environment, and even the survivors themselves as you seek to swallow their souls!
Plenty of surprises await in this gore-filled battle against evil that captures the characters, horror, humor, and action from the franchise. Battle across memorable locations including the infamous cabin in the woods, brought to life with tons of terrifying visuals and all-new dialogue from Bruce Campbell. Discover more than 25 weapons, including Ash’s Gauntlet, Boomstick, and chainsaw, and advance in a variety of skill trees to grow stronger and survive in this fun co-op and PvP experience.
There’s no launch date beyond the vague 2021 window that’s been offered, but we’ll update when we learn more. Are you excited for an Evil Dead game? For Campbell to come back as Ash? Let us know below and online!
