It’s a sad day for those who have been enjoying Evil Dead: The Game over the past two years, as plans for the game’s future have been halted.
Publisher Saber Interactive and developer Boss Team Games have announced that the game will not receive any future updates or new content, and that the Nintendo Switch version of the game has been canceled. That said, servers for the game will remain live for the foreseeable, so you’ll still be able to keep playing.
Evil Dead: The Game is an asymmetrical, multiplayer horror title set in the universe of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead. I gave it 4 stars (out of 5) in our VG247 review back when the game launched, as it wasn’t too shabby. It did exactly what it set out to do, added mechanics that made it feel fresh when compared to the likes of Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th: The Game, and of course, had all the humor and charm that any piece of Evil Dead media should.
