"Evil Dead: Game Removed from Stores 3 Years Post-Launch, Servers Stay Online"

May 05,25

Evil Dead: The Game, the asymmetric multiplayer title inspired by the iconic action horror series, has been removed from digital storefronts following a decision by its publisher. Launched in 2022 across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the game garnered an 8/10 from IGN's review, which praised its thrilling gameplay despite its rough edges, likening it to the horror/comedy films it emulates.

Despite the release of a Game of the Year Edition in the subsequent year, the game struggled to maintain player engagement. The planned Nintendo Switch version was canceled in September 2023, and further content development ceased at that time.

Three years post-launch, Evil Dead: The Game is no longer available for purchase. However, existing owners can breathe a sigh of relief as the servers will remain active, allowing them to continue enjoying the game. Saber Interactive, the game's developer and publisher, confirmed this move on the game's Steam page, expressing gratitude to the community for their support throughout the game's lifecycle.

The decision to delist the game has sparked a wave of negative reviews on Steam, with many players feeling that it marks the end of the game's life. Despite this, the game maintains a 'mixed' user review rating. A positive review from a dedicated player with over 380 hours of gameplay reflects a bittersweet farewell, acknowledging the fun times had within the game.

Saber Interactive, fresh from the success of last year's Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, is not slowing down. The studio is currently working on several high-profile licensed movie games, including John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, Jurassic Park Survival, and an untitled Avatar: The Last Airbender project. Additionally, Turok: Origins and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 are also in the works, promising exciting developments for fans of Saber Interactive's portfolio.
