Evil Dead X Call of Duty? Why Not!

Over the last few years, almost every battle royale title took over the trend of bringing in life events and seasonal changes to the game. Whether it is a concert in Fortnite or just a change in scenery ahead of Christmas, fans love to see devs bring in collaboration projects. With a franchise such as Call of Duty, Activision regularly adds collaborations such as these to their titles. With shows like The Boys already on their roster, it looks set to add another big name from Hollywood into the game.

Reports emerged of an Evil Dead collaboration with Call of Duty. Amongst the host of characters coming to the game, the most prominent will be Ash Williams from the Evil Dead franchise.

Evil Dead comes to Call of Duty

Big-name collaborations are a big part of Call of Duty. The game already saw 21 Savage and Snoop Dogg join the ranks of Operators available in the game. The newest leak suggests the Evil Dead franchise will be coming to Call of Duty, with Ash Williams joining the list of Operators.

Initial images suggest it will be the version of Ash Williams who loses his hand and subsequently replaces it with a chainsaw. However, there is no confirmation who will be the actor for Ash Williams. Fans hope to see Bruce Campbell. The leak came from data miners who examined files for future updates.

That is not all. Data miners also mention finding Skeletor, Alucard, and Spawn. This means Evil Dead will be one of the biggest franchises coming to the game. While these leaks sound exciting, Call of Duty has not confirmed it yet. Fans must wait to see future announcements that will come.

When is the new Evil Dead x Call of Duty update coming?

Interestingly, while fans think this update might come soon, it might be the opposite. With these characters coming from horror movie franchises, the collaboration looks like it will come during Halloween. With the end of October being nearly two months away, the update will take a considerable amount of time. Because of this, fans are not sure what game the update will come to. If it is a Halloween event, it could come on Modern Warfare III, since the game will launch in early November. At the moment, it looks like it will come to Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare II.

It will be interesting to see how things play out with the Evil Dead collaboration. It certainly has fans excited.
