PS Plus’ February games include Evil Dead and a Destiny 2 expansion

Sony announced the PS Plus games for February available for all subscribers, including a multiplayer horror game and a Destiny expansion

Sony announced the PS Plus games for February available for all subscribers starting Feb. 7, 2023, including a multiplayer horror game and a free Destiny expansion. The PS Plus Extra and Premium games have yet to be announced.

First up is Evil Dead The Game, an asynchronous multiplayer game rooted in the Evil Dead franchise. You and a team of survivors face off against a swarm of Deadites and the Kandarian Demon, exploring and looting across locations pulled directly from the Evil Dead films.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is also up for grabs. Beyond Light takes you to Europa and adds the Stasis element to the FPS game, a vital component in most modern Destiny 2 builds and a significant boon heading into Destiny 2 Lightfall later in February.

Mafia: Definitive Edition brings the 2002 crime game to life for modern audiences, smoothing out some of its rougher elements and revamping the visuals. The last game is OlliOlli World, a skateboarding platformer where you grind, hop, and air your way to Gnarvana and appease the skate gods.

All of the February PS Plus games will remain in your library after the month ends, as long as you remain a PS Plus subscriber. While you’re downloading your PS4 and PS5 games, you may want to take a look at the PS Plus Collection before it’s too late. Sony announced the collection is being shuttered in just a few months.

Evil Dead and a Fire Emblem-alike are the next Epic free games

A survival horror multiplayer game and a modern twist on Fire Emblem are your next Epic free games

Thursday is here once more, and with it comes the next round of Epic free games announcements, including a survival horror game you can dive into with friends. For the week of Nov. 17, 2022, through Nov. 24, 2022, you can get Evil Dead: The Game, featuring Bruce Campbell himself, and Dark Deity for the cost of absolutely nothing on the Epic Games Store, and like all Epic free games, once you download these, they stay in your library even after the free week period ends.

Evil Dead: The Game is an asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game, which is a long way of saying “it’s like Dead by Daylight.” You play as either the good folks or the baddies and try to either survive or keep the heroes from making it out alive. 

Where Dead by Daylight draws on classic and modern horror franchises for its roster of survivors and killers, Evil Dead: The Game pulls from, well, Evil Dead. Characters, villains, and locations from all three movies make an appearance, including Ash and Kelly Maxwell, with a gruesome arsenal of weapons at their disposal.

On the other end of the spectrum is Dark Deity from developer Sword & Axe, a turn-based tactical RPG with swords, sorcery, and plenty of interpersonal drama and romance. You guide a team of rookie warriors from Brookstead Military Academy as they uncover the dreadful truth behind why their school was shut down – and what their kind planned for them and the other students. 

What starts as an inversion of the school story format grows into something much grander, with over two dozen recruitable characters, 28 chapters that span the continent of Terrazael, and no end of chances to build support relationships and romance between your band of rebels, all of which is a not-so-subtle nod to Nintendo’s classic Fire Emblem franchise.

While you wait for the date to change, you can pick up Alba: A Wildlife Adventure and Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun now.

Evil Dead: The Game – 8 tips for playing as the Demon

If you want to wipe out Survivors as Evil Dead: The Game’s Demon, this is what you need to do.

We’ve already got some Evil Dead: The Game Survivor tips, but in this guide we’re covering the lone player that appears in each game: the Demon. There are several Demons to choose from in Evil Dead: The Game, but each of them play pretty similarly until you start manifesting yourself on the battlefield. 

Essentially, the Demon, for the most part, takes the role of an invisible overseer, able to break fences, place traps, and summon Deadite enemies for the Survivors to fight. As the Demon, you’ll win if you’re able to take out all of the Survivors, or perhaps destroy the Necronomicon, preventing your exorcism. For everything you need to know to get ahead while playing as the Demon, just read through our Evil Dead: The Game tips below.

Evil Dead: The Game – 8 tips for Survivors

Evil Dead: The Game has a steep learning curve, but you’ll know everything you need to with this guide to playing as a Survivor.

Evil Dead is one of the most beloved and ridiculous horror movie franchises of all time, and now it is finally being given the video game adaptation it deserves. Evil Dead: The Game brings together characters from across the Evil Dead universe, and demons from across it too. As Ash and, um, the rest, you must fight against deadites and demons in order to seal the breach between this world and the next. 

This can be a great time with friends, but the learning curve is steep, and unfortunately, the tutorial isn’t going to prepare you for how difficult things can become, especially if your team isn’t so good. But read through the tips in this guide and you’ll quickly understand how to survive, fight, and win in Evil Dead: The Game.

Watch Bruce Campbell give fans demon-slaying tips in Evil Dead: The Game

The legend himself gave groovy pointers on how to dispose of demons properly.

We live in a time where Evil Dead: The Game is coming out soon, and Bruce Campbell had loads of groovy tips for aspiring demon-slayers. None of which involve long delays, thankfully. 

On Thursday, Saber Interactive shared footage of Campbell providing live commentary over Evil Dead: The Game with fans. While not in the proverbial driver’s seat, Campbell didn’t shy away from advising those playing on how to deal with the Kandarian Demon. He’s been doing this for nearly 40 years at this point, so taking notes is a good call. It’s practically gospel for horror nerds.

Jokes aside, the fans in these Evil Dead: The Game matches clearly get a kick out of Campbell’s dry wit. Check out a teaser below, or watch the complete video on YouTube.

Evil Dead: The Game is an asymmetrical multiplayer title similar to Dead by Daylight or Friday the 13th: The Game. Four players take on the role of survivors from across the Evil Dead series, while a fifth is the Kandarian entity that tries to kill them. Yes, Ash Williams is playable — as if a game commemorating Evil Dead wouldn’t include the boomstick-wielding himbo himself.

Evil Dead: The Game is coming out May 13, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via the Epic Games Store, and Nintendo Switch.

Fans should also keep an eye on The Quarry since Evil Dead’s Ted Rami is among the star-studded cast.

Evil Dead: The Game delayed to May

More time to make things groovy.

Groovy times are ahead this spring, since Evil Dead: The Game  is now coming out on May 13, 2022.

On Friday, Saber Interactive announced that the highly-anticipated  co-op multiplayer  shooter needs a few more months of development time than the original February 2022 release window would allow.

“When we set out to create a brand new game worthy of the Evil Dead  franchise, we knew it had to be groovy as hell,” Saber Interactive said  on Twitter. “This delay gives our team the time they need to get things just right, so your boomstick will be polished, fully loaded, and ready to blast Deadites on that Friday the 13th of May. We thank you for your patience and understanding.”

The latter part of Saber Interactive’s statement is likely a cute nod towards the Friday The 13th series  since there’s was an infamous comic crossover where Evil Dead’s  Ash fought Jason Voorhees. No, really! 

Even though this delay might be a bummer, it’s probably for the best. We don’t need more buggy launches like the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy. At least Evil Dead: The Game is still coming out soon(ish), unlike S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl which recently saw a seven-month delay.
