Ted Raimi Asking Fans to Get Chet Kaminski Into ‘Evil Dead: The Game’
With Evil Dead: The Game – Game of The Year Edition landing a week from now, and the fact that we’re already being teased about the upcoming “Who’s Your Daddy” DLC, leave it to Ted Raimi to mix things up a bit. He’s asking for fans to chime in on bringing Raimi’s Chet Kaminski character from “Ash vs. Evil Dead” into Evil Dead: The Game.
Raimi took to Twitter as a call to action, saying that developer Boss Team Games were deciding whether to bring Chet into the game, and asking fans to “let ’em know” if they want to see “that PF knucklehead” in Evil Dead: The Game as part of a DLC pack.
A childhood friend of Ash and bartender at the Elk Lounge Bar, Chet first appeared in the second season of “Ash vs. Evil Dead”. He unfortunately didn’t quite make it to the end of the show, so it’d be great to have him live once again in video game form. Plus, seeing as we already have another Ted Raimi character in Henrietta in the game as a Deadite, it would be nice to “even things out” on that front.
The new Evil Dead: The Game – Game of the Year Edition is set to arrive April 26 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for the Epic Games Store and Steam.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
