Bruce Campbell, the actor who played Ash Williams in the Evil Dead films and TV series , has clarified that the upcoming Evil Dead game is in development for consoles and as a PC game, and not for VR.



Hey, groovy gamers, this is a swell time to clarify some incorrect info that might be out there (including from me!): the upcoming Evil Dead video game is being developed for consoles and PC, not VR. Sorry for any confusion. Game on! #MyBoomstickIsTooBigForVR #EvilDeadTheGame pic.twitter.com/Jqh2BGW82p — Bruce Campbell (@GroovyBruce) July 1, 2019

Evil Dead: The Video Game

In a post on Twitter, Campbell said “This is a swell time to clarify some incorrect info that might be out there (including from me!): the upcoming Evil Dead video game is being developed for consoles and PC, not VR. Sorry for any confusion.”If you’re a little confused, that feeling may stem from the fact that a new Evil Dead video game has not been announced by any developer or publisher. In fact, the only person who has spoken about an Evil Dead video game is Bruce Campbell himself. Talking to Bloody Disgusting last year, Cambell said “They are doing a video game, a whole immersive kind of dealio. I’ll be Ash for that, because I wouldn’t want someone else’s voice hamming it up.”Since that interview there has been next to no news about the game, although Cambell brought the game up during an interview with TV Insider , during which he said that the game would release “probably within a year”. That interview was in May this year, suggesting that we may see this unannounced game revealed and have a release date before May 2020.Once again, Cambell referred to the Evil Dead game as “a fully immersive video game” during his talk with TV Insider, which goes someway to explaining why there may be a public perception of the game being a VR title. However, Cambell’s clarification cements that this is a traditional video game. I guess we’ll just have to wait for him to do another interview before we find out exactly what kind of game it is, though.Evil Dead remains one of our favourite horror movie franchises , and Ash is one of the best horror heroes . The TV show Ash vs Evil Dead was unfortunately cancelled after three seasons , and marked the end of Campbell’s portrayal of Ash in films or TV. However, it seems he’s still up for voice roles, as this mythical unannounced Evil Dead game proves.
