Evil Dead: The Game is now, ironically, a literal dead game as its developer removes it from sale
1 min read
Summary
Evil Dead: The Game, which is licensed from the Evil Dead franchise, has been removed from digital stores and is no longer available for purchase.
Developer Saber Interactive has confirmed the removal, but has said it plans to keep the game’s servers online for players who have already purchased the game.
This means the game is no longer available to new players, but existing players can continue to play online.
It is not uncommon for games to be removed from digital stores, however, this usually occurs if a game’s licensing agreement expires or the developers are no longer able to maintain the game.
In this instance, it is not clear why Evil Dead: The Game was removed, but it may be related to the cessation of new content development back in 2023, just 16 months after the game’s launch.
This move could indicate underlying issues with the game’s profitability or the viability of the licensing agreement with the Evil Dead franchise.
However, the decision to keep the servers online is a gesture of goodwill towards existing players.
