For now, Karch looks forward to seeing Evil Dead: The Game “continue to kick butt.”
“The other thing we’ve learned,” Karch continues, “is that the days of a Metacritic score determining how well a game sells are long gone.”
It’s been a good week for Embracer Group and Saber Interactive: after the publisher/developer combo announced that Evil Dead: The Game sold 500,000 units in under a week, it’s become clear that there’s an appetite for all things multiplayer horror – a trend helped into popularity by the runaway success of games like Dead by Daylight.
And if you want more from Evil Dead: The Game, fret not – Karch refers to the game as the “first in a new franchise,” and repeatedly references the “strong legs” and “long tail” of the title.
