‘Evil Dead: The Game – Game of the Year Edition’ Announced for PC and Consoles, Includes New “Ash vs. Evil Dead” DLC
Hot on the heels of teasing new “Ash vs. Evil Dead” content, Saber Interactive and developer Boss Team Games have announced Evil Dead: The Game – Game of the Year Edition. The new edition of the asymmetrical multiplayer game will arrive for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for the Epic Games Store and Steam on April 26.
The Game of the Year Edition (which can be purchased by itself, or with a paid upgrade) will include the base game, alongside six DLC packs. That also includes the new “Who’s Your Daddy” pack, which features Lee Majors‘ Brock Williams from “Ash vs. Evil Dead” as a new Survivor, alongside a new Demon in The Schemer.
Brock brings with him immunity to knockbacks, as well as several auras he can unleash to help his squadmates. These auras change dynamically based on how many Williams family members are on the team. Meanwhile, based on the notorious demon boss Baal, the Schemer is a trap specialist who confuses Survivors with illusions. His Meat Puppets inflict increased damage with a variety of attacks based on the fear levels of the Survivors. The “Who’s Your Daddy” pack will also include new outfits for Ash, Amanda, and Pablo.
The “Who’s Your Daddy” DLC will also be available as a standalone purchase. It’s not clear which of the other DLCs are included with Evil Dead: The Game – Game of the Year Edition, though the press release states that they feature “a range of bonus playable Survivors and Demons with unique powers and abilities, as well as tons of cosmetics to customize your experience.”
There’s also still no word on the Nintendo Switch version of Evil Dead: The Game, which had been announced to be arriving at a later date.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
