New Screens for Official ‘Evil Dead’ Game, Set to Launch in June

TouchArcade Rating:

Way back in October of last year, just before Halloween, we learned that an official Evil Dead game was in the works. For fans of the 1980s cult-classic horror flick, this was some pretty exciting news, especially with how faithfully the announcement trailer mimicked the original trailer for the actual movie. Unfortunately, since that announcement, the Evil Dead game has somewhat fallen off the radar, with very little new information being released for the title.

The project most certainly was not dead though, as developer Trigger Apps has been occasionally popping into our forums to let our members know that the game is taking longer than expected, but is still very much on the way. In fact, if plans go as expected, Evil Dead will be available sometime next month. There aren’t a ton of details just yet on exactly what the gameplay will entail, but we do know that you’ll be playing through all the major events of the movie plus some additional events unique to the game.

Trigger Apps has released a new batch of in-game screenshots for Evil Dead, which you can check out below (click to enlarge):

We expect that more information will slowly be revealed as Evil Dead nears its release next month. Be sure to follow along with the upcoming games thread in our forums for even more information and discussion of the game. Evil Dead will be launching for 3rd generation iPhone and iPod touch devices as well as both iPads, and we’ll have more details as we get closer to the release in the coming weeks.

      Well, I enjoy Shot Shot nearly every day in office. It's simply amazing how much stuff is hidden in such a tiny game. Not one match equals an other. But i don't get, why Tri Tri isn't just an update - or an IAP. Yes it feels much different than Shot Shot and well now we have some choice - so to say more spice for the soup. I can't help, something feels strange.... But good.

      Is Erik or Eric? proofreading your article before posting would be beneficial.

        Yes, it should be "Erik".

          Erik is not an uncommon way to spell the name.  My best friend's name is Erik.

      Bought! Fun! There are 2 vs. AI modes too when you cannot find a "humanoid" to play against.  No online MP but iPad is the perfect platform for "onscreen" MP.

      I also released a currently free contender to this fascinating "local multiplayer" genre. It's called Siege Tower For Two, if anyone wants to have a look: http://versuspad.com

      Hope to see even more of this genre in the future!

      Oh no! Bare iPad on concrete! I cannot look!
