Evil Dead’s an iconic horror series in its own right, which, hilariously enough, even has content in Dead By Daylight (as Ash Williams is a playable character there, with outfits from the Starz TV show). Either way, the new Evil Dead video game was released last week, and you can watch its original launch trailer below.
The game has you choose between two roles; play as Ash Williams and company and survive, or control the Kandarian Demon and possess and kill everyone. However, instead of just sitting around repairing generators for several minutes and getting chased every so often, Evil Dead has you actively fighting Deadites (or the heroes). The game’s even become available on GeForce NOW on day and date of release. All that aside, how’s the game doing five days after launch? Well, it’s pushing pretty great sales numbers in short order, garnering about 500,000 copies sold through digital storefronts. A tweet was published earlier this morning talking about it, coming from EmbracerInvestor’s twitter account, talking about its sales. You can view that tweet below.

It has a healthy player base so far. However, only time will tell if that comes to be the case or not. Evil Dead: The Game is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, PC via the Epic Games Store, and Nintendo Switch.
