After several teases hinting at new content coming to Evil Dead: The Game, Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive revealed this week the full patch notes for the update centered around the Army of Darkness movie from the Evil Dead series. Those familiar with the film will already have an idea of what the means, but to spell things out for everyone, the patch notes detailed everything from a new map to more weapons as well as a totally new game mode for players to experience.
Given that this can be regarded as the first big update the game’s gotten since its release, the patch notes accompanying this update are expectedly lengthy. That said, you can check out all of the changes and new additions below which make up the Army of Darkness update currently available for all players.
