CALABASAS HILLS, Calif., April 14, 2005: THQ Inc. (Nasdaq: THQI) today announced Evil Dead Regeneration™ for the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and Windows. The game explores a "what if..." continuation from Evil Dead 2, one of the most unhinged films from famed director Sam Raimi. Voiced by Bruce Campbell, players will control Ash, the reluctant hero of the series, as they're thrown into a masquerade of evil events, equipped with the latest in prosthetic fashion. Developed by THQ studio Cranky Pants Games, Evil Dead Regeneration is scheduled to release this summer.

"I've come to understand that there is only one person in this world fit for this kind of work," said Ash, part-time S-Mart manager, full-time fox. "And that's me. Not because of my knack to get things right, most of the time, but because I can slice and dice evil better than a knife sold on any late-night infomercial. Maybe it's partially to the fact that I've replaced one of my hands with a chainsaw, but I digress."

Evil Dead Regeneration follows Ash, the lone survivor of a camp discovering the Necronomicon - the wholly evil book of the dead. Thought to have murdered his companions, Ash is arrested, convicted of the crime, and sentenced to Sunny Meadows, an institute for the criminally insane, but not for long. Ash's peaceful stay is about to end - thanks to the perverted experiments of his very own psychiatrist, Dr. Reinhard. Hell-bent on using science to harness the Necronomicon's powers, the mad doctor unleashes the book's all-powerful Evil on the world - releasing a new slew of Deadites, monsters and spirits, twisting reality into a hellish strudel and leaving mankind with that not-so-fresh apocalyptic feeling.

"It's our goal to create the spiritual successor of Evil Dead 2, one of the seminal action films ever, in pop-culture," said David Bollesen, general manager, Cranky Pants Games. "Having Bruce Campbell on board, providing creative direction and embracing new ideas we've injected into their universe is critical, and their enthusiasm continues to drive us to deliver the ultimate Evil Dead experience."

Hmm as much as I think the movies are great, I don't have particularly high hopes for another Evil Dead game. Hail to the King was absolute crap and Fistful of Boomstick was mediocre at best.

If they do it properly it could be just great! 3rd time lucky maybe? Very Happy

As an Evil Dead fan, I really liked the previous Hail To The King game in terms of the story and environment. Shame the controls & gameplay were a bit of a letdown, other than I enjoyed myself tremendously.

So, the announcement of a second (for PC anyways) Evil Dead game sounds very good to me, I just hope it will be more of an action-horror game, so third-person floating camera and lots of comboability with axe, chainsaw and guns. Hail to the king, baby! Wink

Sam Raimi needs to stop making Spinderman and make Evil Dead 4


We need Ash back on the big screen, not in PC games


I hold out little hope for this being any good, but you never know..... I will defenatly "Try before I buy"

That would be great though both him and Bruce Campbell have stated that they are not planning a 4th movie...

Actually recently they've been saying that they want to make a 4th one. After the remake (ugh) they want to make a 4th one. They want to like remake the first one to bring in a new audience. Something like that. Then make the 4th one.
