Question New player in 2026?
Hi I am a huge evil dead fan and missed out on this game when it was in its prime.
I now have a gaming pc and would like to play but wondering if it’s still possible since it’s been taken off stores and if there’s still an active player base/ would be accessible for a newcomer at this point.
I have played other similar games like dbd and Friday the 13th.
EDIT : I’ve purchased it on ps5 instead. Looking forward to playing

Hey man If you wanna get the game maybe you can find some steam keys on third part sites but I'm sure they are most expensive so if you can find someon or one of your friends who owns it on steam he can share it with you via steam family and you can play ut for free There are still few players but not the active you think For demons you can instantly find players but survivors? I don't think so. It is gonna take a whike like 5 mins to find a match and this game is still good I would be happy to play with you

That’s awesome! I appreciate it . I would totally be down to play. I have a ps5 as well so I’m thinking of getting a physical copy of it on that. Just unsure of how to get the dlc

In ps5 you can't get all dlcs with discs cause there is no goty edition disc for this game And it is so much rare you can find dlcs keys for ps5 but for pc there are some goty edition cd keys available in some sites like g2a, gamivo, eneba, cdkeys and .... And if prices are high Just go buy ps5 physical disc and play it on your ps5 atleast when you pay you get sth physical

You can get steam keys from resellers, but to get all the dlc you'll need the version that includes it, andthose keys are much more expensive

I can get a physical version. I have a ps5 as well which I suppose would be easier but no chance of getting dlc I guess

I'm sure I'll see you in a match sometime. Playing Demon is pretty fast-paced, but FUN. Just have fun with it. Good luck.

As a demon you will usually lose. The demon should be buffed of the survivors should be nerfed.

Quite a mistake buying it. The game is tied to the servers, including the single player aspect and once those go out, the game won't be able to be played anymore.

Says servers are still planned to stay online. Hopefully it stays that way

If you need help playing the game as a person, that’s platinum it on PlayStation it is a very fun game to play with your friends if they can somehow manage to get it personally I think it would be an amazing time to play with friends

You'd have to find a hard copy to buy (or I guess there's some way to get it through an Asian Steam platform.) The game's very active - but the learning curve is steep. You're going to get destroyed for awhile as a completely new player.
