Friday The 13th Game Unlock Everything

[Karleen Chura]

PerGun Media, Friday the 13th: The Game is best described as "a third-person horror, survival game where players take on the role of a teen counselor, or for the first time ever, Jason Voorhees. You and six other unlucky souls will do everything possible to escape and survive while the most well-known killer in the world tracks you down and brutally slaughters you."

Gun Media is yet to disclose concrete details regarding that single-player component. What we do know is that May 26 heralds the multiplayer portion, with the full, comprehensive experience expected to launch sometime this summer.

"For the first time since 1989, you have the opportunity to help bring a Friday the 13th video game to life! Stalk camp counselors across Crystal Lake as Jason Voorhees, or assume the role of a helpless camper and attempt to survive the night. Come be a part of this incredible moment in video game and horror history! We definitely can't do it without you."

"The entire focus of Friday the 13th: The Game is multiplayer. Survival is entirely up to you as you either stealthily hide from Jason or work together as a team to escape. Think you can take Jason on? You and the other counselors will have that chance as well. Be warned though, nothing is ever certain and no one is ever safe!"

"After several incredible meetings over the next few months, Sean surprised us by offering the Friday the 13th video game license. It was literally a dream come true for a group of lifelong fans. He knew he could trust us with the most coveted horror IP ever, and we plan to make good on that promise to both him and you, the millions of loyal Friday the 13th fans around the world."

"The game will launch with multiplayer-only game play allowing players for the very first time to take on the role of Jason Voorhees in his various incarnations throughout the storied franchise spanning three decades! This 1v7 asymmetric multiplayer title will pit Jason against seven counselors as they try to survive in three maps spanning Camp Crystal Lake, Higgins Haven and Packanack Lodge."

It's a name that ought to send chills down the spine, and sure enough, Gun Media is engineering Camp Crystal Lake in such a way that you'll likely be sleeping with the lights on for a long, long time.

Gun Media has continually stressed its desire to create a game worthy of the Friday the 13th moniker. It's a tall order, of course, but all signs point to a competent and, perhaps most important of all, thrilling experience.

Be it the costumes from Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan or Friday the 13th Part 9: Jason Goes to Hell, long-time horror fans will be pleased to note that Friday the 13th: The Game comes packing a raft of models, all lovingly designed by franchise stalwart Tom Savini.

It's official: Friday the 13th: The Game has been rated M for Mature, with the classification citing "intense violence, blood and gore, suggestible themes and strong language." And really, we wouldn't have it any other way.

The decision to unlock everything to players and offer them increased stats at the very beginning of the game is apparently reducing dependence on database servers, which also means reduced costs for the developer and publisher of the game, at least according to Gun Interactive.

Friday the 13th: The Game is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game released in 2017 and has gained a following, despite having its dedicated servers shut down in 2020. However, peer-to-peer matchmaking survived, and the game is still enjoyed by its fandom to this day.

Gun promised to keep the game on sale until its ultimate delisting, with at least another year of gameplay supported by the company. In the meantime, Gun has shifted its focus to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre asymmetrical horror multiplayer due for release in August this year.
