Demystifying the Evil Dead Editions: Base vs Deluxe

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an Evil Dead superfan and gaming industry commentator, the impending release of Evil Dead: The Game has me counting down the days. While eagerly awaiting launch, many fans have questions around the game‘s editions – chiefly the differences between Base and Deluxe.

Let‘s clarify what you receive in each version:

Base EditionDeluxe Edition
Price$39.99$59.99
Base GameYesYes
Additional Pre-order SkinsYes (a few)Yes (more)
Post-Launch DLC PacksNoYes (4 packs)

DLC Pack Perks – What‘s Included?

The main selling point becomes clear – the Deluxe Edition guarantees access to 4 post-launch DLC packs. But what exactly do these contain?

According to the Deluxe Edition store page, we can expect:

👉 New playable characters from the franchise lore
👉 More demon units for extra PvE and PvP variety
👉 Additional locations pulled straight from the films
👉 More weapons, outfits, skins etc. to customize your roster

My Projected Haul

Having obsessed over several live service horror titles, I estimate the Evil Dead DLC could provide:

TypeEstimate
Playable Survivors3-5
Playable Demon Units2-3
Maps/Locations2-3
Weapons5-8
Outfits/Skins10-15

Aligning with my experience from Dead by Daylight‘s impressive post-launch support.

Who Should Buy Deluxe?

Casual fans mostly interested in the core content will find plenty of value in the Base Edition. However I believe die-hard Evil Dead devotees will want to invest in the Deluxe Edition for the most complete experience over time.

Owning all the DLC grants opportunities to fully immerse yourself in the universe with extra characters and iconic locations. And acquiring every cosmetic option enables you to customize survivors and demons to match your darkest desires!

For me, the Deluxe Edition is clearly worth the $20 premium. But weigh your own interest in the DLC details before deciding. Either way, grab your boomstick and join the fight on launch day!
