The latest DLC update for Evil Dead: The Game is now live, with the “Hail to the King Update” bringing a new single-player mission, new premium outfits, and more along with it.
The team previews this latest update, “Take control of the new Survivor: The Blacksmith, experience a new single-player mission and suit up with a host of premium outfits.”
The “Hail to the King Bundle” will be available to Season Pass owners or as a standalone purchase for $9.99 and includes the Blacksmith as well as five bonus outfits for Ash, Henry the Red, and Lord Arthur, including a special Ash Halloween Outfit. A hybrid support hero with some warrior characteristics, the Blacksmith is a master with all melee weapons but is unable to use ranged weapons. His special ability lets players generate random weapons for the entire team with scrap collected around the battlefield.
The update also includes two new weapons – the rapid-fire crossbow ranged weapon and the quarterstaff melee weapon. And a new single-player side mission for all players: Kandar’s Witch has opened a rift in time and space at Castle Kandar, and if repelling the hordes of Hades wasn’t enough of a challenge, Henry the Red must put her to the sword and save the entire universe.
Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive’s Evil Dead: The Game features single-player and co-op gameplay, promising to be the ultimate Evil Dead experience in the world of video games. Several characters from the movies and TV series are playable in the game at launch, along with four different versions of Deadite-slaying horror hero Ash Williams.
In the game, “Work together as a team of four survivors, exploring, looting, crafting, managing your fear, and finding key artifacts to seal the breach between worlds. Or take control of the powerful Kandarian Demon to hunt Ash and his friends while possessing Deadites, the environment, and even the survivors themselves as you seek to swallow their souls.”
