Evaluation
Traitors in Salem was removed from Steam by its current publisher, Digital Bandidos, on or around September 30, 2025. In a developer post on that date, the team explicitly stated the game was "unplayable in its current state" and confirmed they were removing the store listing. The game has no purchase options available as of today (July 22, 2026), consistent with that removal.
The same September 30, 2025 post outlined several possible paths forward — including fixing the game and returning it to Steam, incorporating it as a free update into Town of Salem 2, reimagining it as an entirely new game, or other options still under early discussion. However, no follow-up announcement has been made since that post confirming which direction was chosen or when any of these possibilities might materialize.
The game launched on September 14, 2022 and received a handful of patches and updates through 2022, but no meaningful post-launch content development continued after that. A September 2024 update from Digital Bandidos (who had taken over the franchise) noted that Traitors in Salem was "still being reviewed," signaling the game's troubled state even before the eventual delisting.
Evidence
Digital Bandidos announced they are removing Traitors in Salem from Steam because the game is unplayable in its current state. They outlined several possible future directions (fixing and relaunching, integrating into Town of Salem 2, or reimagining as a new game) but made no firm commitments.
The game has no purchase options available, confirming it has been delisted from Steam.
