Castle Kandar from ‘Army of Darkness’ is Coming to ‘Evil Dead: The Game’!
Saber Interactive’s Evil Dead: The Game finally arrives in one week, and the team has taken to social media today to tease the first bit of upcoming DLC we’ll be treated to.
“Free to all Evil Dead: The Game players,” Castle Kandar from Army of Darkness will be added into the game at some point in the near future, a brand new playable map!
The team teases, “It’s one of many groovy DLC updates we are working on for the months ahead. Stay tuned for more info soon.” Check out early concept art below!
Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive’s Evil Dead: The Game is set to feature single-player and co-op gameplay, promising to be the ultimate Evil Dead experience in the world of video games. Several characters from the movies and TV series will be playable in the game, along with four different versions of Deadite-slaying horror hero Ash Williams.
In the game, “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.”
Evil Dead: The Game (read our preview) will release on May 13, 2022.

Lovecraft fans will be getting some love in VR form this fall, thanks to Spectral Games’ co-op action title The Lightkeepers. Coming September 10 to Meta Quest, the game has you and your friends facing off against the nightmares of the deep, fight for your life until every dawn.
Set in a mysterious 1920s world inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, The Lightkeepers places you and your friends as sailors venturing to mist-shrouded islands during the day to explore ruins and venture into forgotten undergrounds in order to reap the resources and increase your wealth. At night, however, you’ll be facing off against unearthly creatures, for which you’ll need to keep at bay until sunrise.
Luckily, you can use your wealth to purchase supplies and weapons. But going at it alone is certain doom. You and your team will need to share responsibilities, craft grenades, lay mines, feed the hungry, and heal the wounded. The Lightkeepers also features a progression system that allows players to unlock and upgrade starting weapons and earn cosmetics for their characters.
When night does fall, you’ll have to slash, chop, shoot, and blow your way out of trouble with an array of 20 weapons. Plan your tactics with your crew or revel in the chaos of battle. Any strategy is good, as long as the light doesn’t go out.
