Saber Interactive has made new announcements about Evil Dead The Game on their official Twitter account for the game. The tweet announces that the game is being delayed from its most recent targeted release window in February to a new release date of May 13th this year. The statement suggests that the delay is meant to allow the development time the time they need to polish up the project and minimize as many potential issues as possible.

This delay gives our team the time they need to get things just right, so your boomstick will be polished, fully loaded, and ready to blast Deadites on that Friday the 13th of May. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
