We’re all hungry for Evil Dead: The Game, which is an obvious statement. The question is, just when is it coming out? There was no mention of a release date last month when we had our first taste of the game in action, and much of the speculation has the game coming out this year. However, according to the man himself, Bruce Campbell, we might have to wait a bit longer.
During a Q&A session at the Fingerlakes Drive-In in Auburn, New York on Friday night to promote the 40th anniversary of the original Evil Dead, Campbell was asked about Evil Dead: The Game. According to Campbell, the game has a target date of February 2022. The reasoning behind this is because according to Bruce, developers Saber Interactive want to do “one upgrade” to be as “bitchin’ as any other game out there.”
“The problem with these games is that they make them and then the platform is outmoded,” says Bruce.
Neither Boss Team Games or Saber Interactive has commented on the release date yet, nor have they confirmed anything Bruce has said.
Evil Dead: The Game is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Props to The Screening Space for snagging this one.
