“To the Evil Dead: The Game Community,
Today, we have made the decision not to pursue the development of new content for Evil Dead: The Game. We also confirm that we will not be releasing a Nintendo Switch version of the game.
We will keep the servers up for the foreseeable future and address any major issues that arise.
On behalf of the entire team at Saber, thank you for all the groovy times and your continued support.”
Evil Dead: The Game launched in June of 2022 and opened up to mixed reviews, though like the movie and TV series, it seemed to have garnered a following. However, as the months passed, players began to worry about the game’s future, as support seemingly began to slow down.
We suppose many in the community could see this coming, but nonetheless, it saddens us to see content support ending. And while they’ll remain active for now, it’ll only be a matter of time before the servers close themselves.
