Wow. It looks like they couldn't get Richard Domeier either.

Yeah it didn't sound like him from what i remember of playing the beta, but the voice actor they got to play ED does a great job for the material that's there for the character.

AoD Ash is probably the best warrior class to play as or main because of his ability, from all i saw of him in action, he's pretty hard for the demon player to take down but it's doable.

Here's a article detailing what each class does and a video showcasing each of their abilities.

LEADERS
Leaders are all about auras and playing close to your friends. While this might seem like a no-brainer for survival, some of the more advanced strategies involve splitting up the survivors in order to push for objectives extremely fast before the demon can grow in power or lockdown locations. If you do plan to stick close to your allies, leaders come with a variety of cool bonuses to make your entire group stronger, such as reducing incoming damage, boosting outgoing damage, reducing fear buildup, and more. Bringing leaders makes everything easier, so if you plan to be a team player, grab a leader and go!

WARRIORS
Warriors love getting into melee combat and have extra health to support them in scraps. Warriors are better with melee options like axes, chainsaws, shovels, and more. Warriors generally get cool abilities to help them roll around in a pack of Deadites, executing finishing moves to tear their body parts right off with style. Many Warrior perks activate based on engaging in close proximity combat, and can even give temporary shields or invulnerability!

HUNTERS
While ammo can be tougher to come by than something to whack your enemies with, Hunters excel at ranged options, and can even use skills to reduce your need to scrounge up bullets. They can also hold more ammo, so once you’re done with the opening phases of the game and loaded up to tackle objectives, you won’t have to go hunting in houses for more. Hunters are also experts at finding more and better loot, so even if the Demon finds you quickly, you might be able to find some really great gear before the situation gets dire.

SUPPORT
Supports come with numerous skills to help keep your survivors in the fray, including ways to create shields, gain health, or reduce fear. They come with bonus starting consumables too! If you’re looking to bring a guaranteed all-star to the team, pick Cheryl Williams, as her area-of-effect healing zone can turn the tide of matches in your favor in an immense fashion. In fact, she might even be borderline overpowered, so grab some colas and go rock with support! Remember, supports in Evil Dead: The Game are still going to be deep in the action, looting, shooting, and scooting, even with their focus on helping to keep everyone alive.

Here's a article detailing what the demons can do with a video inside detailing their abilities

https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/04/13/evil-dead-the-game-meet-the-demons

WARLORD (Henrietta/Deadites)
The first Demon, and the one I recommend to first-time evildoers, is the Warlord. This kit is really easy to understand – it’s all about power and buffs. Big Deadites that can withstand and dish out a ton of punishment fast. No frills and not at all subtle, the Warlord seeks to dominate the survivors with raw power. After dropping a few Deadites into the world, clever positioning and possession can swing a battle in your favor. The boss of the Warlord template is Henrietta, a hideous ghoul that can lock down a single survivor while destroying them, the perfect play to unleash after you’ve sown some confusion with traps or Deadites. Henrietta is excellent against bunched-up teams that are trying to capture an objective or reduce their fear through fire, able to land a destructive belly flop and unleash area-of-effect toxic gas. If you’re trying to learn how to play Demon, Warlord is probably the best place to start.

PUPPETER (Eligos/Eligos Offspring/Minions)
If you prefer a bit more finesse and planning to your demonic endeavors, Puppeteer is the Demon for you. During my demo, Puppeteer was my favorite, requiring a bit more setup than the others but delivering electrifying results. As a Puppeteer, you’re going to have to learn Deadite movesets quite intimately, and how to time them to disorient survivors when they are at their most vulnerable – much of your potency can hinge on possession. Your Deadites are a bit more fragile than other templates, but they have an interesting disable skill and crowd control abilities that can be devastating when used properly. Eligos is the boss unit of the Puppeteer, who you may recognize from the TV show, Ash vs. Evil Dead. Eligos has limited invisibility, allowing him to sneak around in battle, flitting around from survivor to survivor to wreak havoc. Once you’re comfortable with understanding how Demon play works, Puppeteer offers a satisfying high-skill ceiling to pursue.

NECROMANCER (Evil Ash/Skeleton Minions)
Finally, there’s the Demon which will likely be the most popular due to the boss unit involved. The Necromancer utilizes skeletal Deadites (yep, it’s basically Army of Darkness) to crush opponents, led by a skeleton flautist. The flautists are vulnerable and don’t move, but provide a huge buff to other Deadites nearby, allowing you to cleverly manage an entire legion of buffed-up skeletons to tear the survivors apart. The boss of the Necromancer loadout is Evil Ash, naturally, so expect to see plenty of him running around, summoning skeletons, and life-leeching opponents to death

People over at game informer confirmed that in game you can unlock audio logs that expand on the lore from both the films and tv show. So we are getting story elements in this game!


They confirm it at 1:07:01 - 1:07:23

This is mostly good stuff; interesting to me that Annie and Ed aren't precise to their actor's looks but everyone else is (also yay, playable Annie, Amanda and Cheryl; now I just want Linda, Sheila, Jake, Ruby and Bobbie Jo).
 
Are you gonna sign up for the second beta go-round, Joe?

Yup! Diving in for a second round, this game's quite addictive once you get a handle on the game loop for the survivors. Was a cheryl main for most of the first beta, she was OP as hell with her abilities though i imagine they've probably nerfed her for this 2nd round judging by the fixes listed in that article.

Improved overall performance including fixes to freezes or stutters
Balance changes for Survivors and Demons to ensure a more balanced gameplay
Fixed an issue that caused input loss and HUD loss
Fixed multiple issues related to skills on the skill tree
Added all language localizations
Reduced the time needed to interact with pick-ups to be collected
Demons no longer get a level up when a survivor disconnects from the match

Awesome detail that was confirmed in this preview that's pretty wild.

At 8:59 - 9:26

The person explains that in a audio log through raymond knowby, they do explain why all of these characters are here and alive again fighting all together against the dark ones and the kandarian demon, and they seemed to imply there's story elements in the single player missions as well.

My money is on time travel shenanigans or multiverse elements!
