The wait is almost over and it will be over soon. Grab your pitchfork, machete or whatever, and prepare for Gun Media’s “Friday the 13th: The Game” on May 26th, 2017!

The game will launch on Xbox One, PS4 and Steam as a digital download for $40USD, which means most of us should have no excuse to be playing together release week.

This is a huge deal because “Friday the 13th: The Game” remains canon, so much so that there’s even a special version of Jason Voorhees, created by Tom Savini, designed to continue the story after Jason went to Hell.

For the purists out there, Kane Hodder performed the motion capture for Jason, while the great Harry Manfredini provided the music! For the first time since 1989, you have the opportunity to finally be Jason Voorhees; stalk camp counselors across Crystal Lake as Jason, or assume the role of a helpless camper and attempt to survive the night.

Oh, and there’s a badass new trailer that shows the characters and wide variety of Jasons, as well as the kills, weapons, locations, and so much more.

Gun Media and developer Illfonic’s “Friday the 13th: The Game”, initially announced as “Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp”, was funded through Kickstarter back in 2015.

In addition, the game’s full multiplayer component includes Tommy Jarvis as a playable character. Movie setting Packanack Lodge will also be included in this release as a third playable map. This initial release will be followed by the full Summer 2017 release of the single-player component, including AI Bots.

The movie may be dead, yet…

JASON LIVES!
