Saber also states that they\u2019ll use the time to work on a newly revealed single-player mode. Up to this point, Evil Dead has been presented as an asynchronous multiplayer horror game in the vein of Dead by Daylight. Players take control of iconic characters such as Ash to work together to take on player-possessed monsters. Single-player will allow players to enjoy the game without buddies in tow, but Saber didn\u2019t divulge further details. However, the studio did tell fans to expect new character updates, a new gameplay video featuring\u00a0Cambell, and pre-order information in the near future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tw-align-center twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">Evil Dead: The Game will be releasing in February 2022<br \/>\nHey groovy gamers, we&#8217;re targeting a new release date to give the team some extra time for polish and to ensure this is the ultimate Evil Dead experience you\u2019re all waiting for! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/c5I4OSQshA\">pic.twitter.com\/c5I4OSQshA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 EvilDeadTheGame (@EvilDeadTheGame) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EvilDeadTheGame\/status\/1423282742586875909?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Evil Dead: The Game was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/the-game-awards-2020\/2020\/12\/10\/evil-dead-the-game-launches-in-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first announced<\/a> during the 2020 Game Awards and resurfaced as a part of this year\u2019s E3 festivities.
