If you were hoping for more Evil Dead: The Game achievements to unlock, sadly, we have some bad news for you: Saber Interactive has announced it is ending the development of new content for the game.

"We have made the decision not to pursue the development of new content for Evil Dead: The Game," Saber said in a statement. "We also confirm that we will not be releasing a Nintendo Switch version of the game."

Thankfully, Evil Dead: The Game's servers will remain online. Saber says it will keep the game's servers up "for the foreseeable future" and address "any major issues that arise."

While it's good that Saber isn't killing the game off completely, it's probably a good idea to start working your way through the Evil Dead: The Game achievements now, just in case — a completion in the online-only game is estimated to take between 100 and 120 hours.

Evil Dead: The Game launched in May 2022 to decent reviews. In our first impressions of the game, we found the gameplay satisfying, though we were concerned about the game's longevity. Earlier this year, Saber added a big new battle royale mode called Splatter Royale to Evil Dead: The Game, where up to 40 players would have to battle it out to be the last one standing.
