Saber Interactive has announced it’s ending development of last year’s Evil Dead: The Game – meaning no new content will be produced and the planned Switch version is now cancelled.
Evil Dead: The Game – which launched onto Xbox, PlayStation, and PC last May – is another entry in the asymmetrical multiplayer horror genre that’s already bought us the likes of Dead by Daylight and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, this one pitting a cast of familiar faces from the Evil Dead movies, including Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams, against the Deadite hordes.
Since its release, sporadic post-launch support has introduced a castle map inspired by Army of Darkness, new outfits, a number of new characters, the new Plaguebringer class, and a new Splatter Royale mode. April saw the previously Epic Games Store-exclusive title make the jump to Steam on PC, but content updates fizzled out after that – and now Saber Interactive has confirmed development has reached its end.
“Today we have made the decision not to pursue the development of new content for Evil Dead: The Game,” the studio wrote in a statement posted to social media. “We also confirm that we will not be releasing a Nintendo Switch version of the game.”
