‘Evil Dead: The Game’ – New ‘Army of Darkness’ Demon Class Coming in September!
In addition to the remake’s Mia Allen, more new content is coming to Evil Dead: The Game in September, with Saber Interactive revealing an upcoming Demon Class this afternoon.
Titled “Plaguebringer,” the FREE Demon Class will be added into the game next month, and it’s based on Sam Raimi’s Army of Darkness. The 1992 sequel had recently made its way into the game with the first DLC Update, which featured a brand new Castle Kandar map.
It looks like the “Plaguebringer” class is led by the Possessed Witch from Army of Darkness, flanked by a Skeleton Deadite and the Pit Witch that Ash memorably tangled with.
“Plaguebringer” will be the fourth Demon Class in Evil Dead: The Game, with other playable villains from the franchise including Henrietta, Evil Ash, and Eligos from “Ash vs. Evil Dead.”
Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive’s Evil Dead: The Game features 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 are playable in the game at launch, 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.”
After giving fans a taste of the game earlier this year, Game Pop Studio’s debut title They Will Come dropped a brand new trailer during the Future Games Show, alongside with confirming a release date of Summer 2026 on Steam. For those who don’t know, the game is a cinematic steampunk horror adventure directed by Jeff Troutman – an award-winning Art Director with over 30 years of experience at studios including Midway Games and Petroglyph.
The game is set aboard The Endeavor, a vast airship and manufacturing site for hundreds of powerful automatons, and home to eleven-year-old Benjamin and his family of inventors. When crow-masked cultists known as the Wretched Ones seize the ship and take his family hostage, Benjamin refuses to give in. Armed with a slingshot and the hope that the dormant giant robot Talus is still somewhere in the hangar below, he sets out to take back everything that has been taken from him.
They Will Come is played from a close, cinematic over-the-shoulder perspective, placing players inside the tension of every encounter as they explore the Endeavor’s hangars, catwalks, maintenance tunnels, and observation decks – all hostile territory. Staying hidden is the only reliable path to survival: use shadows, environmental puzzles, and a scattered army of small automatons called Embots to keep one step ahead of the Wretched Ones. Talus – enormous and powerful but drained of his energy cells – needs Benjamin as much as Benjamin needs him; restore his power and the dynamic shifts, putting the hunters on the back foot.
