Will Evil Dead: The Game be single-player? Is it Crossplay? How to invite friends?

After being hit by delays in the lead up to its release, the wait is over and Evil Dead: The Game is finally here – boomstick present and accounted for.

Will Evil Dead: The Game be single-player?

The game is first and foremost a multiplayer experience that will pit you and your team against another. One group are the good guys, the other need to be locked away in the Book of the Dead for all eternity.

But what if you want to experience the adventures of Ash and co on your own, without the backup of friends by your side?

Does Evil Dead: The Game have a single-player mode?

Yes, Evil Dead: The Game does have a single-player mode of sorts, so there is stuff to do if you’re not a multiplayer fan.

This isn’t exactly a full sprawling campaign, so don’t go expecting an epic story set in the Evil Dead world. Multiplayer is the main thing, but you do have solo options. Let us explain.

The first thing you will have to do when you start the game up is to play through an unskippable tutorial, and that is something you will do on your own. It’s not a huge tutorial and it is over quickly, but it does play like an in-game mission to give you a proper feel for the mechanics of the game.

Plus, you don’t have to partake in the main bit of the game with other people if you don’t want to. You can bring AI characters with you into battle instead.

Plus, there are shortish missions that can be accessed from the main menu, and these can be played solo. The first one is set in the iconic cabin, and they all take their lead from key locations and moments from across the franchise.

Will Evil Dead: The Game Be Crossplay?

That’s always something good to know with any multiplayer game, especially those with co-op and and emphasis on teaming together. Cross platform compatibility between consoles and PC is always a good thing to have, but not every game has it. For that reason, we’ll explain if the Evil Dead game has crossplay and cross platform support below, and what you can do with the features it does offer.

Will the Evil Dead game have crossplay and cross-platform support?

Yes, it does! Evil Dead: The Game does indeed support full crossplay and cross-platform compatibility at launch, as announced in the official Tweet shown above. There’s even an option in the settings to turn it off, assuming you don’t want to go up against players with the advantage/disadvantage of different controllers or just want more power over who you team with.

As a rule, the crossplay feature simply means that any random matchmade game could be with any other player on any console or platform. There’s also the option to add friends across by going into the “Social” menu and searching for their username on their respective platform. Even if you’re on PS5 and search for somebody’s Epic Games or Xbox username, it should come up, along with a simple icon showing what platform they’re playing it on.

As for the best console/platform to play it on… well, that’s hard to say right now. Without seeing how the game runs on different platforms it’s impossible to know which provides the best experience, though as with many games that make use of accuracy, mouse and keyboard traditionally provide more pinpoint power. We’ve also seen that while the game is intended to come to Nintendo Switch, it’s not clear when that’ll be, with the official site simply stating that it is “coming soon.”

How to Access the Map in Evil Dead The Game

The most crucial part of the game, the map, is not shown in the tutorial. There is a lot more you can do than merely use the mini-map in the game’s tutorial and the main campaign. You can use a larger map to indicate where you are and how to get there.

In Evil Dead: The Game players must locate the Kandarian Dagger and the Necronomicon’s lost pages in order to slay the Kandarian Demon. It can be difficult to locate this map, since it has been split into three pieces and spread around the map.

To find all of the Map Pieces in Evil Dead: The Game, you must play as a Survivor. A mission objective that reads Collect a piece of the map near Faison farm, will be displayed in the top right corner of the screen when you join a match as a survivor.

Although the location of the map components varies from game to game, the map itself can only appear in specific locations. In order to locate the missing component of the map, you must examine the entire grey circle marked on the map. You can do this much faster if you have your entire map open.

You may find yourself at a loss as to where to look for the missing piece of the map when you first arrive. It is common for it to be placed on a wall, or any area within eye level, just keep an eye out for obnoxious places where a map piece might be hidden.

Will Evil Dead be on Steam?

Evil Dead The Game will not be coming to Steam, which is sad for fans of the franchise who use the Valve client to play their games. The reason Evil Dead The Game will not go to Steam is that the game has an exclusivity deal with Epic Games, which is where players can find it.

Will Evil Dead be on PC?

And if that rivalry could be dramatically referred to as a war, Epic seems to have won this particular battle. If you play on console as well as PC, you can pick up Evil Dead: The Game from the Xbox Store or the PlayStation Store if you don’t fancy going down the Epic Games Store route.

Does Evil Dead have a campaign?

Evil Dead The Game doesn’t have a traditional single-player campaign, but it does offer several short single-player missions where players can take control of one of the Evil Dead The Game survivors and go ham on Deadites, so to speak.

Can you play Evil Dead: The Game offline?

Can You Play Evil Dead: The Game Offline? No, Evil Dead: The Game requires a constant internet connection. You cannot even get past the title menu if you aren’t connected online. This is regardless if you’re playing on PC and consoles.
