Once a vibrant entry in the world of asymmetric multiplayer games, *Evil Dead: The Game* is now officially unavailable for purchase. This comes after its publisher, Saber Interactive, began removing the title from digital storefronts across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Originally released in 2022 and inspired by the iconic *Evil Dead* horror-comedy franchise, the game received a warm welcome from critics—including an 8/10 from IGN. Reviewers praised it as a thrilling cat-and-mouse experience that captured the chaotic spirit of the films, even if it had some rough edges.
A Short-Lived Legacy
Despite the release of a more polished *Game of the Year Edition* in 2023, the game struggled to maintain momentum. By September of that year, plans for a Nintendo Switch version were scrapped, and new content development came to a halt. Now, nearly three years post-launch, the game has been pulled from sale entirely. However, existing players can still enjoy the game online, as Saber Interactive confirmed plans to keep servers running for those who already own it.
Community Reaction and Final Words
The decision hasn’t gone unnoticed on Steam, where a growing number of negative reviews reflect player disappointment. Many feel the removal signals the game’s final chapter. Despite this, some long-time fans have left heartfelt farewells, acknowledging the fun they had while it lasted.
“We can confirm we've begun the process of removing the game from digital storefronts. Anyone who has purchased the game will still be able to play it as we plan to keep our servers online for everyone.”
“We want to extend a sincere thank you to our community, to those who have been part of the game from the very beginning, and those who have recently joined us. We appreciate all of your support.”
What’s Next for Saber Interactive?
While *Evil Dead: The Game* may no longer be available for new players, Saber Interactive remains active in the industry. Fresh off the success of *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2*, the studio is currently developing several high-profile licensed titles such as *John Carpenter's Toxic Commando*, *Jurassic Park Survival*, and an untitled *Avatar: The Last Airbender* game. Additionally, projects like *Turok: Origins* and *Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3* are also in the works, signaling a busy future ahead.
