First game scenes: In addition to a few introductory words, which summarize the plot of the film The Evil Dead, the trailer shows the first gameplay from a pre-alpha.

It is not clear from the material whether you can drive yourself or whether the scene runs automatically.
PvP features planned: The press release for the announcement also states that a fifth player can intervene in Evil Dead. As a Kandarian demon, it is his job to stop Ash and his companions and to put enough enemies on their necks. More details on the process of the PvP component will follow in the future.
Evil Dead: The Game soll 2021 appear. There is no fixed release date yet. Incidentally, Evil Dead is not to be confused with the newly announced Evil West by Flying Wild Hog.
