This new edition is set to launch on April 26 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5. Owners of the game will be able to purchase the Game of the Year Edition upgrade for their respective platform, though it’s currently not known how much it will cost. Previously, Evil Dead was only available on PC via the Epic Games Store, but with the upcoming GOTY Edition, the game will now be coming to Steam.
The game’s official account tweeted, “We’ve been hiding something in the cellar, and it’s not Henrietta.”
No other information has been provided as of yet, but the quick clip gives just enough of a peek at the faceless characters to piece together what we might expect when the DLC arrives. And it appears to be centered around “Ash vs. Evil Dead.“
The brief tease indicates we might look forward to new skins for playable survivor characters Ash Williams in Ashy Slashy asylum mode (pictured above), Amanda Fisher, and Pablo Simon Bolivar. The remaining two figures bear an uncanny resemblance to Ash’s dad Brock Williams (played by Lee Majors) and season two villain Baal (played by Joel Tobeck).

Evil Dead Rise is coming exclusively to theaters on April 21, 2023, and it brought the house down during its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX last week. Bloody Disgusting spoke with Cronin after the premiere; the filmmaker confirmed the Bruce Campbell cameo he recently teased, while also discussing what it was like to work with Sam Raimi, and dishing the details on the most important rule when making an Evil Dead movie.
"That was an incredible stunt double. They wouldn't let me [do it]. I wanted to try to do that. But I think they were basically like, 'We don't have the time for you to learn this.' I really wanted to give it a go. The producers were like, 'No, your stunt double's going to do this one because... we don't have the time. She's already got this one nailed."
During the filming of the upcoming sequel Evil Dead Rise, the crew used so much stage blood that they had to hire out an industrial kitchen.

"I kind of knew instinctively that if I came back with a cabin in the woods take, it was just going to be more of the same. It was going to be like, 'How do we mash this up? How do we double down on what's already been doubled down on?' So instinctively I felt like I needed to take it to an urban context ... I felt the city, the urban jungle, was the polar opposite to what we've seen before. So if you're going to make a change, you really got to make a change, in a way."
Some online fans, when the trailer dropped and revealed the apartment-building setting, were comparing Evil Dead Rise to Demons 2. Have you seen that film, and was that ever part of your thinking?
Lee Cronin: I’m really glad you asked this question because I have to admit I’ve never seen Demons 2—and I know that’s an easy answer. I know of it, but I actually haven’t seen the film—and I want to remedy that! It’s definitely on my watch list. But it’s not something I had seen when I was approaching this movie.

After sitting through an hour and a half-long movie and 10 minutes of a post-screening Q&A, one spectator at the world premiere of “Evil Dead Rise” decided he had finally had enough.The man was approached by South by Southwest venue staff after falling asleep with his legs propped up and yelled something unintelligible in response. When the room went silent to hear him out, he shouted, “This movie fucking sucks!” and threw an empty bucket of popcorn into the air.The audience immediately erupted into a chorus of boos. As the heckler stormed out of his balcony seat, they quieted, offering scattered applause — until original “Evil Dead” star and current executive producer Bruce Campbell got involved.“What are you doing here? Get the fuck out of here!” he said, inciting raucous cheers that almost rivaled the crowd’s reaction to the film itself. Added producer Rob Tapert, “I don’t get it. He waited all the way through the credits!” to wide laughter.
Bruce Campbell: If Sam says, ‘I, Sam Raimi, will direct another Evil Dead movie,’ then I, Bruce Campbell, will consider being in it. I don’t want to be Ash, tended to by other people. Sam’s the meanest director I’ve ever worked with, and Ash needs a little bit of that to shine. And I think Sam’s the only director now who I won’t punch in the face making an Evil Dead movie! I’m just saying, I’ve called Rob and Sam out, I’m not the coward that they think I am; I just want the right circumstances. Because Sam, even though he’s done studio movies, he’s still a good director! [Raimi laughs] So, I want Sam! I’ll do it for Sam.”

Raimi is particularly up for doing something that reunites him with Campbell and producer Rob Tapert, who has been involved in the Evil Dead series since the very start. “I love working with Bruce and Rob,” Raimi says. “I love it as a producer because they’re really good partners, but I also like being supported by them as the director. So I hope that is on the cards eventually.”

“Make sure there’s scary Deadites, and use the book.”When Lee Cronin assumed writing/directing duties for Evil Dead Rise, those were Sam Raimi's requests. Of course, there were other ingredients for the fifth installment of The Evil Dead horror franchise—launched in 1981 by director Raimi, producer Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell —such as blood, gore, chainsaws, and boomsticks.But then the Irish filmmaker and lifelong Evil Dead reveals to us he had his own mission: “To bring you in, wind you up, and then punch you in the face for an hour.”

“Lee Cronin did a really bang-up job. You can expect to be very disturbed. It’s when mommies go bad. We dragged it out of the woods. We’re in an urban environment, which gives it a really gnarly feel. I think people are in for trouble. I feel sorry for audiences in advance!”Campbell compares Evil Dead Rise‘s tone to that of Fede Álvarez’s 2013 Evil Dead reboot. “Both filmmakers are equally capable individuals, so they both really just spanked it. It’s not a yuk-fest. It’s not hardy-har-har. It’s not Ash shooting finger guns. This is real shit going down. These guys took it real seriously. Lee Cronin is Irish, and he brings kind of a European feel to this thing.”He also praises the special effects work in the upcoming film. “No one will ever be able to make fun of the Evil Dead special effects ever again as long as I’m alive. They used to love to do that; cheese-ball effects, garden hoses spewing stuff. Well, you know what? Eat it, bitches, because this is good stuff you’re about to see!”
Excerpt regarding a potential animated Ash Williams return:
While Campbell has officially retired his iconic Ash Williams character on screen, an animated Evil Dead continuation series is still in the early stages of development. “All I can say is we’re actively pursuing it. Sam’s a busy guy. He had a big hit movie, so he’s got a lot on his plate, but he and his brother are actively shaping out the world. It’s one thing to get an animator and say, ‘Hey, animate this!’ You’ve got to know what you’re going to animate. I look forward to it, because my voice hasn’t aged as much as I have.”
According to franchise star Bruce Campbell, creating Army of Darkness was more torture than celebration. “I think we still have PTSD from that movie,” said Campbell while discussing the grueling conditions of making Army of Darkness with collaborator Robert Tapert. “It was a never-ending nightmare of a shoot.”
