What would Halloween be without the Friday the 13th movie series? Possibly better…but that’s just me. But some fans of the series have gone to an interesting length to make the franchise even more long-standing, by making an online game of the franchise, and it will feature Jason Voorhees of course. Here’s the breakdown straight from the official press release: “Friday the 13th: The Game is an online, asymmetric multiplayer experience where one player will assume the role of legendary killer “Jason Voorhees” against seven other players assuming the roles of camp counselors trying to survive the night. Friday the 13th: The Game is being developed for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Developed by Gun Media and IllFonic, Friday the 13th: The Game will deliver a terrifying combination of features designed to satisfy gamers and fans of the Friday the 13th franchise alike. In addition to bringing the tension and horror of the movies to life, the game will also let players don the mask of Jason Voorhees for the first time and control all new levels of brutal action! The development team had earlier collaborated on the unreleased survival horror-themed game Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp, and plans to integrate much of that design into the new Friday the 13th game. “As you can imagine the conversion from Slasher Vol.1: Summer Camp to Friday the 13th: The Game was a dream come true for our entire team,” explained Gun Media’s Wes Keltner and Ronnie Hobbs, Co-Creators of the new game. “1v7 asymmetrical multiplayer is a perfect fit for this franchise, and we can’t wait to share our creation with fans across the world.” “It’s been nearly 30 years since fans have had the opportunity to experience a Friday the 13th video game,” explained Sean S. Cunningham, creator of the Friday the 13th franchise. “Technology has finally reached a level that allows us to produce an experience fans of the franchise deserve. It’s always been a dream of mine to let players fully BECOME Jason, and stalk camp counselors across a virtual Crystal Lake. I’m delighted we’re able to bring this fantasy to life!” The development team behind the new game is also excited to announce a Kickstarter campaign, designed to expand the scope of the game and give backers the ability to become a part of the franchise forever – by claiming special rewards ranging from early access to the game and unlocking various Jason’s from the films, to once-in-a-lifetime access to horror legends, and even claiming a role within the game as one of the counselors.
