Evil Dead: The Game

Saber Interactive dropped Evil Dead: The Game on May 13, 2022, and the house showed up for Bruce Campbell reprising Ash Williams in an asymmetric multiplayer brawler. This wasn't Dead by Daylight's stealth-and-hide formula—survivors had actual guns, chainsaws, and melee weapons to fight back with. We watched the camp get overrun, Ash crack one-liners, and players panic when the Deadites actually posed a threat instead of being hiding-spot simulators. The Evil Dead fanbase wanted combat theater, not survival horror, and Saber delivered exactly that. 47.5 hours in the cabin revealed a game that understood its license: B-movie chaos, weapon variety, and the pure joy of Bruce Campbell voicing pure chaos. The asymmetric multiplayer had depth if you dug in.

We averaged 269 viewers across 47.5 hours, peaking at 369 during launch week. The 12,620 hours watched showed moderate but solid engagement. The Evil Dead faithful showed up, though the follower count was neutral—asymmetric multiplayer games have smaller, more dedicated audiences than traditional co-op.
