Game developer Saber Interactive has confirmed that it is removing Evil Dead: The Game from digital storefronts such as Steam and Epic Games Store, despite plans to keep the game’s servers online for existing players.
The decision comes just weeks after the game was pulled from Sony’s digital store. No reason has been given by Saber Interactive for the removal, which has left many fans wondering why the game is being taken down.
Despite this, it appears that the company will continue to support the game with server maintenance and bug fixes. This means that players who have purchased the game will still be able to play it, albeit potentially with some limitations.
Evil Dead: The Game was released in 2022 and has had a successful run on various platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. However, its Nintendo Switch version was canceled in September last year, along with plans for new content additions.
The move to delist the game from digital storefronts follows other recent examples of popular titles being removed due to licensing or logistical issues. The future of Evil Dead: The Game remains uncertain, but fans can rest assured that they will still be able to play it as long as the servers stay online.
