Xbox is running a beta for Evil Dead: The Game this weekend and although it is confidential, it’s very easy to get in. This will likely be the only chance for players to get in on the action before Evil Dead: The Game releases in just under a month, allowing fans the opportunity to see if they like what Saber Interactive has done with Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise. Evil Dead: The Game was revealed at the end of 2020 and has experienced a couple of delays since its reveal, but it looks like it’s finally coming and may live up to the legacy of the franchise.
Evil Dead: The Game has a beta running on Xbox from April 22nd to April 24th at 11:59 PT. Players are free to partake in co-op or PVP and play as either Ash and his band of heroes or the deadly Kandarian Demon. For those that played the last playtest, Saber has implemented new improvements such as better performance, character balancing, reduced time to pick up objects, and more. Demons also no longer get an automatic level-up if a survivor leaves the match, so the game can remain balanced. If you want to play the beta this weekend, you can follow the instructions below.
