Saber Interactive has announced that it’s decided not to pursue developing any more future content for Evil Dead: The Game, effectively ending the game’s life cycle around only 16 months since release. It also confirmed that a planned Switch version of the game will no longer be released.
The full statement from Saber reads:
“To the Evil Dead: The Game community,

We will keep the servers up for the foreseeable future and address any major issues that arise.

Back in May last year we called Evil Dead: The Game a “surprisingly robust multiplayer experience” in our review, saying “Evil Dead: The Game pays excellent tribute to most of the Evil Dead canon with great gusto. It looks fantastic, plays smoothly, and has a robust set of multiplayer options, that means the foundation is there for a game with great longevity. It remains to be seen whether Saber will support the game with more content, which will need a refresh in the future. But if they do, Evil Dead: The Game is poised to be one of the better horror adaptations and easily one of my favourites.”
