Everything seemed normal just a few days ago — players were still enjoying Evil Dead: The Game, blasting demons with Ash Williams’ iconic sawed-off shotgun, and soaking in that classic mix of horror and action the franchise is known for. But then, out of nowhere… the game started disappearing from digital storefronts.
It all began when a sharp-eyed gamer shared a post on Reddit: “The game is gone from the Epic Games Store!” Soon after, others confirmed that it had also vanished from the PlayStation Store. That couldn’t just be a coincidence, right?
Released in 2022 by Saber Madrid and Boss Team Games, Evil Dead: The Game was a bold take on the asymmetrical multiplayer genre, pitting four survivors against a player-controlled demon. The game perfectly captured the chaotic spirit of the Evil Dead franchise, originally created by Sam Raimi and made iconic by Bruce Campbell’s portrayal of Ash Williams.
It wasn’t just about action — it was brutal, stylish, and sprinkled with dark humor. Fans of violent titles like Mortal Kombat 1, Manhunt, and The Callisto Protocol found themselves right at home.
The Reddit user ThePatMan117 unintentionally lit a fire. Epic Games Store? Gone. PlayStation Store? Also gone. The only places where the game still exists (for now) are Steam and Xbox. For fans, this was a serious red flag — it didn’t feel like a minor glitch. It felt like something bigger.
Speculation spread fast: Is the game getting permanently shut down?
Some fans pointed to past experiences with the developers, saying, “They’ve ghosted the community before.” The trust is clearly fragile. But others remain hopeful, thinking it might just be a licensing hiccup or a quiet preparation for a relaunch or update.
This led fans to compare the situation to Dead by Daylight, still a dominant force in the horror multiplayer scene. When Ash vs Evil Dead got a DLC in that game back in 2019, it brought a wave of nostalgia. Now, loyal fans are standing up again, saying, “Don’t let this game die.”
While the game seems to be vanishing, the film universe continues strong. Evil Dead Rise (2023) was well-received by fans, and director Lee Cronin even teased the possibility of a sequel. A new chapter is also on the horizon — Evil Dead Burn, set for 2026. It’s a fresh spin-off, directed by Sébastien Vaniček and produced by Sam Raimi, signaling a shift in creative direction but a continuation of the franchise’s legacy.

When a game quietly disappears from multiple platforms without an official announcement, concern is natural. But perhaps the doors aren’t closed just yet. Maybe something new is coming — or maybe, it really is the end of this horror classic.
