The latest update for Evil Dead: The Game unleashes a range of new Army of Darkness-themed content, including the “Hail to the King Bundle,” which is out now on consoles and PC.
This new premium DLC, available to Season Pass owners or as a standalone purchase for $9.99, introduces Evil Dead: The Game’s newest Survivor character, the hard-hammering Blacksmith, as well as five bonus outfits for Ash, Henry the Red, and Lord Arthur, including a special Ash Halloween outfit (see below).
- New Survivor character: Blacksmith, a hybrid support hero with some warrior characteristics.
- The Blacksmith is a master with all melee weapons but is unable to use ranged weapons.
- His special ability lets players generate random weapons for the entire team with scrap collected around the battlefield – the more scrap gathered, the greater the odds of creating an item of higher rarity, so craft wisely.
There’s also new content available to all players today in the “Hail to the King” update.
- Experience even more co-op PvP|PvE multiplayer action with two new weapons: the rapid-fire crossbow ranged weapon and the quarterstaff melee weapon.
- A new single-player side mission is also now available for all players. Kandar’s Witch has opened a rift in time and space at Castle Kandar, and if repelling the hordes of Hades wasn’t enough of a challenge, Henry the Red must put her to the sword and save the entire universe.
If you don’t know what the game’s about yet, publisher Saber Interactive’s got you covered:
Inspired by the iconic Evil Dead franchise, Evil Dead: The Game brings the series’ biggest names together in a pulse-pounding battle with the forces of darkness. Work as a team of four Survivors to kick Deadite butt and banish the vile Kandarian Demon – or become the Demon yourself, using its powers of possession to stop the good guys dead and swallow their souls.
Evil Dead: The Game is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
