Tom Savini’s Summer Camp was shaping up to be a surprise hit for home consoles and PC; except, not anymore. It turns out that Summer Camp was just a working title for a far more ambitious game… Friday The 13th: The Game.

Some of you might remember that back on November 1st, 2014 it was announced that a retro-themed love letter to the slasher flicks of the 1980s would be coming and that it would be called Summer Camp. It was designed to be an asymmetric multiplayer deathmatch title where one person took on the role of the killer and the other players took on the role of the camp counselors.

Well, that concept is staying the same but the name and the killer is taking a change. The game is now being called Friday The 13th: The Game, and it’s being made by Gun Media and Illfonic and players will be able to assume the role of Jason Voorhees. You can check out the teaser trailer below.

That’s not your NES version of Jason.

One of the big revelations that has dropped for the game is that not only will Tom Savini be involved with the project but the original Friday killer, Kane Hodder, will be returning to the role as well.

According to Bloody Disgusting, Wes Keltner, the co-creator of Friday the 13th: The Game stated…

“Honestly, who else could we have chosen for the role of the killer?” […] “Several people have worn the mask, but in our eyes, there was only one. Kane has the body type, the presence and demeanor that personify the unrelenting, undying killing force we’re after for [Friday the 13th: The Game].”

The game isn’t being published in the traditional sense. The developers have decided to crowd-fund the game through Kickstarter to the tune of $700,000.

With just a month to go on the crowd-funding campaign they’ve already managed to accrue $322,137 as of the writing of this article, with more than 5,000 backers putting real money into this project to see it come to life.

Friday The 13th: The Game is tentatively scheduled to launch in the fall of 2016 for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC. You can visit the official website to learn more about the game, and if you feel as if this is something you genuinely want to see come to life you can head to the Kickstarter page.
