Digital retailer Epic Games Storehas revealed the two new titlesthat it will be offering up to all of its users free-of-charge next week — And this time around, it’s something particularly special, as 2022’s asynchronous multiplayer titleEvil Dead: The Gamewill be available gratis, in all of its gory glory.
Launching earlier this year on PC and consoles,Evil Dead: The Gameis an authentic and particularly frantic adaptation of the iconic horror film series — famously starring Bruce Campbell as the chainsaw-revving doofus/rogue Ash Williams.Evil Dead: The Gamesees players team up as recognizable characters from the entire series, before doing battle against a single player with an army of Deadites, traps, and other sneaky tricks up their Kandarian sleeves.
While the multiplayer element of the title obviously means thatEvil Dead: The Gamehas a very specific audience, the developers at Boss Team Games did a magnificent job in recreating the aesthetic and creepy, oppressive nature of the franchise, with a fantastic audio/visual package that series fans will love. It also plays very well as an asynchronous multiplayer experience, and hopefully, this EGS freebie will help to widen the game’s audience a little more, encouraging Ash and friends to remain on their decap attack well into the new year.

Developed by indie outfit Sword & Axe LLC and released in the summer of 2021,Dark Deityis a strategy-based RPG set against the backdrop of a war-torn fantasy world. Taking influence from Nintendo’s highly acclaimedFire Emblemseries,Dark Deityfollows the escapades of a cast of military academy students — thrust into battle prematurely after their king ill-advisedly declares war on a neighboring state. The story follows four such students as they join a battle that has farther-reaching consequences than they had ever imagined.
