While support for asynchronous multiplayer title Evil Dead: The Game was ended all the way back in 2023, Saber Interactive has left the servers for the game running since then. However, some users have spotted that the title has been de-listed from digital storefronts Epic Games Store and PlayStation Store, making it no longer possible to buy the game.
As caught by VGC, Saber Interactive has released a statement confirming that Evil Dead: The Game has been taken down from storefronts, including Steam. Plans to keep the servers for the game going for players that have already purchased the game, however, have seemingly not been changed.
“We can confirm we’ve begun the process of removing the game from digital storefronts,” said Saber Interactive in its statement. “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 company had announced the end of support for Evil Dead: The Game back in September 2023 with a statement, revealing that no more new content for the game would be developed. While the company was leaving servers online, it had also confirmed that the Nintendo Switch version of Evil Dead: The Game had been cancelled.
Evil Dead: The Game was originally released all the way back in May 2022 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. As previously mentioned a Nintendo Switch version was also planned, but ultimately cancelled. The title saw a fair bit of early success, boasting 500,000 copies sold in its first five days.
