A recent announcement from Saber Interactive has sparked heated discussions among fans of Evil Dead: The Game. The studio confirmed it will delist the game but will keep servers operational, igniting debates over gameplay direction and expectations.

What's the Controversy?

Many people voiced their disappointment with the gameโ€™s focus on multiplayer elements. Comments flood forums, revealing a strong preference for a single-player experience akin to Resident Evil 4. An avid fan emphasized, "Multiplayer isnโ€™t what people wanted from an Evil Dead game. We want RE4 but with Evil Dead."

Another commenter argued for a shift in development strategy, saying, "Maybe these devs should make a good single-player game instead of another asymmetrical multiplayer game." The sentiment highlights a growing dissatisfaction with asymmetrical formats seen across various horror titles.

Voices from the Community

The comments reveal three main themes:

  1. Preference for Single-Player: Users are favoring a more traditional, single-player horror experience over multiplayer chaos.

  2. Comparisons to Past Games: There's nostalgia for early 2000s horror games, which many feel were more engaging.

  3. Frustration with Current Trends: Gamers express fatigue with the trend of PvP-oriented horror games, seeking alternatives that focus on story and atmosphere.
