FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – July 13, 2022 – Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games, in collaboration with Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM), have released the “Army of Darkness” update for their co-op PvP|PvE multiplayer action title Evil Dead: The Game. This major content update introduces a new map featuring Castle Kandar, the setting of the classic MGM film Army of Darkness, as well as two new weapons, new premium cosmetics and a new single-player Exploration mode.
The new map, weapons and mode are free for all owners of Evil Dead: The Game. The update is available now for players on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store.

Evil Dead fans will recognize the numerous locations on the Army of Darkness map, most notably Castle Kandar itself, recreated in vivid detail. Other locations include the iconic Windmill, the Arthurian Outpost, Fort Gort and the Castle Kandar Keep, which held the Necronomicon during the attempted siege by the army of darkness. In addition to the free map, players will also be able to fight with two new, free weapons: the Mace, a slow but powerful close-range weapon perfect for going medieval on deadites; and the Explosive Crossbow, slow to reload but with a blast worth the wait.
*
In the new Exploration mode, players will be able to experience Castle Kandar as well as the other maps in the game entirely on their own. Free roam across all the vast locations and learn the lay of the land while honing your slaying skills against roving Deadites.
