The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2022\/02\/evil-dead-the-game-delayed-again-will-now-arrive-in-may\">last update on the Switch release<\/a> was also some time ago, with Saber Interactive and Boss Games mentioning at the time how it was still scheduled to release on Nintendo&#8217;s hybrid platform.

Although this title won&#8217;t be coming to Switch, it is still available on other platforms &#8211; so if you really did want to give it a go, the option is there.<\/p>\n<p><em>How are you feeling about this cancellation?
