If you’re like me, you love to hear what Bruce Campbell is up to. One of the greatest B-movie actors ever, Bruce really is the king. Now, Bruce once again straps on the chainsaw and loads his boomstick for another venture into the EVIL DEAD universe. Unfortunately, it’s not a movie sequel, but that shouldn’t stop you.
Enter EVIL DEAD: REGENERATION, an all-new game set in the EVIL DEAD universe. Bruce once again plays Ash (albeit in video game form), who has a bit of a run-in with John Law, finds himself arrested, convicted of murder, and sentenced to Sunny Meadows, and institute for the criminally insane. Probably safer than the madness he escaped hidden with the woods, he quickly learns the evil has only become more malevolent. Deep in the basement of an insane asylum, the mad Dr. Vingo Reinhard combines technology with the Book of the Dead, AKA The Necronomicon, to fullfill perverted experiments of his very own. Hell-bent on using science to harness the Necronomicon’s powers, the malevolent doctor unleashes the Deadites. With his craft, Dr. Vingo sets about creating a new breed of Deadites, monsters and experiments gone wrong, twisting reality and leaving mankind with that not-so-fresh apocalyptic feeling. Once again, it’s up to Ash to clean house, and this time, he’s not alone.
For the first time ever, Ash has been forced to take on a partner. Sam, a three-foot tall Deadite (and probably a poke at you-know-who) who’s part empath, part wiseass and all corpse! And he’s willing to use his carcass as anything, from a tiki torch to a bowling ball, to get his revenge. Ash, who would rather behead Sam then befriend him, figures he’s going to need a lot of help against the army of monstrosities that lie in wait, so Sam tags along.
The game itself is set for release on September 5th of this year for the PC, Xbox and PS2. Head over to the Official Site to check out concept art, videos and more.
