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

Author : Sophia May 04,2025

Evil Dead: The Game, the asymmetric multiplayer title based on the beloved action horror franchise, has been removed from digital storefronts by its publisher. Launched in 2022 across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the game initially received positive feedback, earning an 8/10 from IGN's review, which praised its compelling and exhilarating gameplay despite its rough edges.

Despite the release of a Game of the Year Edition a year later, the game struggled to maintain player engagement. This was evident when the planned Nintendo Switch version was canceled in September 2023, and further content development ceased.

Now, three years post-launch, Evil Dead: The Game is no longer available for purchase. However, existing players can continue enjoying the game as its servers will remain online. Saber Interactive, the game's developer and publisher, announced this decision on the game's Steam page:

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.

The decision has been met with disappointment from the community, as reflected in numerous negative reviews on the game's Steam page. Many players feel that the game is now effectively "dead." Despite this, the game maintains a 'mixed' overall user review rating on Steam.

One recent positive review from a dedicated player with over 380 hours in-game poignantly stated, "The end is nigh. It was fun while it lasted, lads. I mean that."

Saber Interactive, known for developing last year's successful title Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, is currently working on several licensed movie games. These include John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, Jurassic Park Survival, an untitled Avatar: The Last Airbender game, Turok: Origins, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3.
