Evil Dead The Game has been rated in Australia and through this rating, we can find out that the game will offer some In-Game Purchases.
Australian Classification Board has rated Evil Dead The Game, which is due out in February 2022. They have given the game a Mature rating of MA15+. The description provided suggests that there will be in-game purchases. While there will be some single-player content, this is primarily a multiplayer-centric game.
As for why they have given this rating, they suggest that it will offer “strong horror violence, blood and gore, online interactivity and in-game purchases.”
On the official Evil Dead The Game website, the developer Saber Interactive has described it as “over-the-top co-op and PVP multiplayer action.” While we don’t know more than this, it is not going to be a free-to-play game and the presence of in-game purchases could point towards the developers offering cosmetics or characters as microtransactions.
Bruce Campell will voice Ash in the game while the other confirmed characters that are playable include Scotty, Lord Arthur, Kelly Maxwell, Pablo Simon Bolivar, and more.
It is announced for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch. While it was initially slated for a release later this year, the launch was pushed ahead to February 2022.
