For those who aren’t familiar with Ruby, she was the main antagonist of the Ash vs. Evil Dead series. This is worth noting as an Ash vs. Evil Dead DLC was announced last December. Players will only need to wait a couple of weeks before they can try out Ruby in-game.
Evil Dead: The Game is currently available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Epic Games. Check out our review of the game on the PS5, where we gave it a 6/10 score. Here’s our verdict: “It’s ultimately more fun with friends, but only really if they’re also into Evil Dead as a franchise. And even then, references and nostalgia can only get you so far. Ultimately, Evil Dead the Game can be improved by patches and I’ll be happy to return to it when it is improved. As for now, I’ll stick with my film collection for my Evil Dead fix.”
