Evil Dead: The Game Disappears from Stores, Servers Live On

Evil Dead: The Game has been removed from digital storefronts three years after its initial release, as announced by Saber Interactive. The game, which offered an asymmetric multiplayer experience based on the popular horror franchise, launched to positive reviews but struggled to maintain player numbers. Though the game is no longer available for purchase, existing owners can still enjoy it thanks to the continued operation of its servers. Feedback on social media highlights player disappointment over the game's removal, with many feeling the game has reached its end. Saber Interactive is also shifting focus to future projects, including several new licensed game titles.

Evil Dead: The Game was pulled from digital storefronts due to diminishing player numbers and the cancellation of its Nintendo Switch version. The decision reflects a shift in focus by Saber Interactive toward new game developments.

Evil Dead: The Game originally launched in 2022 and thrived on the nostalgic appeal of the beloved horror franchise. Players faced off in an asymmetrical multiplayer setting where one side played as survivors while the other took on the role of powerful demons. Despite being well-received at launch, its player base dwindled, leading to the developers deciding to cease new content development and ultimately remove the game from sale. Saber Interactive has since indicated its plans for several new titles, suggesting a transition away from older projects.
