Talks of a new video game based on the popular Evil Dead franchise have been swirling around the Internet for some time, with Bruce Campbell himself confirming such a thing is indeed on the way. Unfortunately, he hasn't spilled any specifics about the inbound title, but word has been circulating that it is going to be a VR experience. That said, Campbell has spoken once again on the Evil Dead game, only this time he made sure to clarify that whatever it is, it definitely is not going to be available on a virtual reality headset.

Taking to Twitter, Campbell revealed that the Evil Dead game is currently in development for PC and consoles. Of course, he didn't specify which consoles, but one can imagine it will at least arrive on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. "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," he said. "Sorry for any confusion. Game on!"

As can be seen in the tweet above, Campbell then claimed his boomstick is too big for VR and he also may have revealed the title. Evil Dead The Game wouldn't be the most groundbreaking title in existence, but it certainly would get the job done. Then again, that is entirely speculation at this point and only time will tell if it is indeed the title.

Speaking of time, according to Campbell's comments from earlier this year, we will be seeing the arrival of the Evil Dead game within the next year. "We'll see more Evil Dead, that's for sure," said Campbell. "There is an Evil Dead video game out. A fully immersive video game probably within a year. I'm not sure about the day. There will be variations of that. There won't be the original Ash anymore. That guy is done."

What do you think about all of this? Are you glad that the upcoming Evil Dead game isn't for VR? Sound off in the comment section below, or feel free to hit me up over on Twitter @anarkE7!
