Developer Saber Interactive has officially confirmed that Evil Dead: The Game, the well-received asymmetric survival horror title, is being removed from digital storefronts. While disappointing, the news doesn’t come as a shock to fans who have seen support for the game gradually wind down.
Originally released in 2022 and published by Boss Team Games, Evil Dead: The Game offered players a thrilling mix of co-op gameplay and PvP combat. It drew heavily from the iconic Evil Dead horror franchise, created by Spider-Man director Sam Raimi, and brought beloved characters like Ash Williams into bloody, chaotic multiplayer battles.
The game embraced the gruesome tone and Southern Gothic atmosphere of Raimi’s films, earning praise for its faithful visuals and eerie tone. It earned a spot alongside other genre standouts like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Alone in the Dark, and Telltale’s The Walking Dead.
Game Delisted, But Servers Remain
In a blog post published on Steam, Saber Interactive announced the beginning of the delisting process. The game is now being removed from the Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Steam, though the Xbox Store listing remains active as of now.
“We are beginning the process of removing Evil Dead: The Game from digital storefronts,” Saber stated, while reassuring players that servers will remain online for those who already purchased the title.
This means existing players can continue playing, but no new content or updates will be released, and new players will no longer be able to buy the game digitally. Physical copies may still circulate, but official support is effectively concluded.
Not the Only Game Affected in 2025
This move is part of a broader trend in the gaming industry. Saber’s announcement comes shortly after Xbox delisted six games, including Outer Terror, Daggerhood, and Gravity Duck, raising concerns over the longevity of digital game ownership.
A Sad Goodbye to a Cult Horror Classic
Though Evil Dead: The Game had a promising start and a strong fan base, its lifecycle appears to be ending far sooner than hoped. The game’s removal from stores and lack of future updates mark a disappointing conclusion to what was once one of the most promising co-op horror games on the market.
Still, its gruesome legacy lives on in the memories of fans—and in the blood-stained digital woods where Ash and friends continue to fight off Deadites, at least for now.
