The devs have previously mentioned being able to possess the environment and even players, though I think that’s more for murder than mischief. But the best possessions in Evil Dead are about antagonising Ash, not killing him. Why punch someone when you can poke them in the eye with their own hand, or hose them with blood?

I’m probably thinking more ofa game like Ghost Master, aren’t I. That’s fine. I suppose not every game needs to let me possess a hoover. But it would be nice if they all did.

Evil Dead: The Game is due out later this year, hitting PC, PlayStations, Xboxes, and Switch. It’s coming from Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games. Seeits websitefor more.
