Evil Dead: The Game – a game that’s already gotten its fair share of DLC and added additional content through free updates – got something new again this week with an update that added a Battle Royale mode game mode. Fittingly enough, it’s called “Splatter Royale” and sees players compete against 39 other Deadites until only one person is left to be the winner. The Splatter Royale update came with other things like free weapons and outfits, along with some premium cosmetics and balance changes.
