Ash From ‘Evil Dead’ the Latest Crossover for ‘Fortnite’ During Fortnitemares 2022 Event [Trailer]
Epic Games has revealed this year’s FortniteMares event for Fortnite, which kicks off today. And for Evil Dead fans, Ash Williams will be the latest to make the crossover to Fortnite!
The trailer for the event, which focuses on players being able to turn into werewolves, featured a brief shot of Ash. Noted Fornite leakers such as HypeX have delved further into the update, which confirmed that Ash will be in the game, along with several Evil Dead-related cosmetics.
Ash will be bringing the following into Fortnite:
- His iconic chainsaw, which doubles as a Pickaxe
- A holstered shotgun as Back Bling
- Necronomicon
- An Evil Dead-themed Loading Screen
It’s not clear yet if Ash will have his own set of emotes, or if we’ll be graced with iconic lines by Bruce Campbell. The exact release date for the Evil Dead Ash outfit to be released in Fortnite is also not known at this time.
Meanwhile, Fortnitemares 2022 will feature the usual Halloween-themed skins, along with a new Halloween boss. There will be a new weapon that features “Phantom Ammo”. Players will also be able to snag the new Howler Claws, which when equipped, allows you to activate a “Wolfscent Ability” to track nearby enemies. The nearby enemies will hear a heartbeat that grows louder as you approach them.
The Fortnitemares 2022 event is expected to last until the end of October.
Meanwhile, for you Evil Dead: The Game fans, as part of the upcoming Hail to the King update, the Blacksmith from Army of Darkness will be arriving in the game very soon.
In a blast from the past, developer atooi will release today Dementium: The Ward for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The first-person horror shooter originally got its start on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, before making its way to the 3DS in 2015, and finally landing on the Switch last October.
The PlayStation version of Dementium offers up “crunchy retro” and revamped HD display modes (presumably, this is similar to the free update the Switch version received last year), and has been “built from the ground up for the big screen”. Obviously, the game will lose its touchscreen capabilities from the Nintendo consoles, but will still run at a silky 60 frames per second.
Dementium: The Ward centres around William Redmoor, a man with amnesia, who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned medical ward. He soon finds out that he’s not quite as alone as he initially thought, as demonic creatures are roaming the hospital. Equipped with a flashlight and a nightstick, William must not only fend off the creatures, but also solve puzzles and find the exit and escape.
No word on if the sequel, Dementium II (which was also originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS), will be given the same treatment.
