Evil Dead: The Game update 1.53

Back in September of 2023, Saber Interactive announced that development of any new features and content for Evil Dead: The Game is ceasing, though the servers will remain up for players to enjoy the multiplayer game.  In a rather surprising development, the studio has today released Evil Dead: The Game update 1.53 (version 1.005.300 on current-gen consoles) on all platforms!

Just what’s new in thee Evil Dead: The Game’s new patch? Here’s the change per the studio:

  • Added Quick Match game mode that allows players to search for a game without choosing a role.

Yep, that’s about it. Given the game’s state, don’t expect any new content or a load of features to be added. Frankly, we’re surprised a patch was even released at all. Back when it was released, the game exploded right out of the gate, though failed to maintain the momentum for more than a year.

Our review of the game is a bit mixed about it as we’ve noted the fun that was there, but it was bogged down by technical issues. Will we see another game update? We wouldn’t bet on it, but stranger things have happened.
