Evil Dead: The Game gets a new ‘Splatter Royale’ mode

As of its last update, multiplayer horror game Evil Dead has a new mode that’s not quite battle royale, but instead is being called “Splatter Royale”. Up to 40 players fight to be the last deadite standing, choosing from uglied-up deadite versions of the game’s existing Survivor and Demon characters.

As well as scavenging for loot it can be earned through special events, some of which demand you take on elite or boss NPCs. At the end of each round you advance up Splatter Royale’s four skill trees, which let you get better at being an Assassin, Butcher, Commando, or Marksman.
