One of the biggest surprises from last year’s The Game Awards event was the announcement of an upcoming co-operative multiplayer game based on Sam Raimi’s beloved Evil Dead horror film series. The game is in development from Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games and will feature characters and locations from all three Evil Dead films and the Starz series Ash vs. Evil Dead, which ran from 2015 to 2018. Now Saber Interactive has finally revealed that Ray Santiago’s character, Pablo Simon Bolivar, will feature in the game as a playable character.
Ash vs. Evil Dead first debuted in October 2015 and follows the life of Evil Dead protagonist Ash Williams 30 years after the events of 1990’s Army of Darkness. The series also features Ray Santiago as Pablo, and Dana DeLorenzo as Kelly Maxwell as Ash’s sidekicks in defeating the Deadites that seek to capture the souls of humans.
Saber Interactive has released the first image of Pablo in Evil Dead: The Game, who will once again be performed by Ray Santiago. Pablo was suspiciously missing from the original reveal trailer for Evil Dead: The Game, despite Kelly and Ash featuring alongside Lord Arthur from Army of Darkness and Scotty from the original Evil Dead. It’s not yet known how Pablo will play in comparison to other characters, or what other characters from the franchise will feature in the game, including characters from the 2013 reboot film.
The Evil Dead franchise first started in 1981 with the release of Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead. The film was later followed up by Evil Dead 2 in 1987, which is credited as being one of the most influential horror films ever made. In 1990, Sam Raimi returned with Army of Darkness, a more comedic follow-up with a medieval setting. After this, the franchise received many video game follow-ups in the form of Evil Dead: Hail to the King for PC, PS1 and Dreamcast, Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick for PS2 and Xbox, and Evil Dead: Regeneration for PC, PS2, and Xbox, all of which featured Bruce Campbell voicing Ash Williams. In 2013 the franchise was rebooted in a new film produced by Raimi and Ash vs. Evil Dead started in 2015.
Evil Dead: The Game is the first new Evil Dead console game since 2005, with Ash Williams only having appeared in Telltale Games’ Poker Night 2 since then. Bruce Campbell originally teased the game’s existence all the way back in January 2019, and there was seemingly a plan for Ash to appear in Mortal Kombat 11 until recently.
Evil Dead: The Game will release in 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
