Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have announced that Evil Dead: The Game has been delayed until May 13.
Announced on Twitter, it was stated that the delay was to give the team time to “get things just right, so your boomstick will be polished, fully loaded, and ready to blast Deadites.”
Hey Evil Dead fans!

A further message on the same thread also confirmed that pre-order information and a fresh trailer will be on the way shortly, so stay tuned for that.
The video game adaptation of the long-running horror franchise will feature a five-player PvEvP gameplay experience. Four players will take control of series protagonists such as Ash Williams and Lord Arthur as they mow down Deadites, while the fifth player will assume the sinister role of the Kandarian Demon, working against the chainsaw-wielding good guys.
Evil Dead: The Game will now launch on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and PC on May 13.
