Ash Vs Evil Dead stars Dana DeLorenzo and Ray Santiago back as Kelly and Pablo for Evil Dead: The Game

We got a trailer just before Christmas for the upcoming Evil Dead: The Game and it looks like a rip-roaring slaughterhouse of deadite killing, but it also looks like it’s set to cover the full history of the franchise with more than just Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams being a main character.

In the trailer we glimpse returning characters Arthur from Army of Darkness and Scotty from The Evil Dead.

We have now learned that Marcus Gilbert will return to voice Arthur and Richard DeManincor will voice Scotty, but that’s not all.

Dana DeLorenzo has officially confirmed that she’ll be providing the voice of Kelly Maxwell from the Ash Vs Evil Dead series in the game and she’ll be joined by Ray Santiago as Pablo Simon Bolivar from the show, so along with Campbell, it’s a full-on Ash Vs Evil Dead reunion and, as a big fan of the series, I am here for it.

Although, I do wish I knew what Ghostbeaters are after Santiago (below) said he’ll be joining them.

You can check out the stars’ Twitter announcements below:

For the first time ever, the Evil Dead universe comes together in one over-the-top experience starring boomstick-brandishing, chainsaw-wielding horror hero Ashley J. Williams. Boss Team Games has entered into an epic collaboration with Renaissance Pictures, STUDIOCANAL, leading entertainment company Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM), and global content leader Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B) to create this one-of-a-kind game that casts players against the forces of evil that have been unleashed from the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, with sights and sounds inspired by the films The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn, and Army of Darkness, as well as the STARZ original “Ash vs Evil Dead” television series.”

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.

Plenty of surprises await in this gore-filled battle against evil that captures the characters, horror, humor, and action from the franchise. Battle across memorable locations including the infamous cabin in the woods, brought to life with tons of terrifying visuals and all-new dialogue from Bruce Campbell. Discover more than 25 weapons, including Ash’s Gauntlet, Boomstick, and chainsaw, and advance in a variety of skill trees to grow stronger and survive in this fun co-op and PvP experience.”

Evil Dead: The Game is an upcoming co-op and PvP multiplayer title in development for PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
