Evil Dead: The Game, the asymmetric multiplayer title inspired by the iconic action horror franchise, is no longer available for purchase. The game, which launched in 2022 across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, received an 8/10 from IGN. Our review praised it as "an asymmetric multiplayer game of cat and mouse that's compelling and exhilarating, despite being rough around the edges - much like the horror/comedies that inspired it."

Despite the release of a Game of the Year Edition a year later, the game struggled to maintain player engagement. In September 2023, the planned Nintendo Switch version was canceled, and further content development was halted. Now, three years after its initial launch, Evil Dead: The Game has been removed from digital storefronts by its publisher, Saber Interactive. However, the servers will remain online, allowing existing owners to continue playing.

Saber Interactive confirmed the decision on the game's Steam page, stating:

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 led to a wave of negative reviews on the game's Steam page, with many players lamenting the game's removal and considering it effectively dead. The overall Steam user review rating remains 'mixed.' One recent positive review from a player with over 380 hours in-game reads, "The end is nigh. It was fun while it lasted, lads. I mean that."

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