First came an announcement for Summer Camp. Then we learned about Last Year. So now’s the perfect time for the original camp counselor killer to get his first game since an appearance on the NES in 1989. I’m talking, of course, about Jason Voorhees (“Ch Ch, Ch, Chhh, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ahhh”).
EGM has discovered that Friday the 13th: The Video Game is currently in development at an “experienced game studio” for “multiple platforms.” According to Sean S. Cunningham, the director of the original film, an official announcement for the game should be dropping in “the coming weeks.”
Like Summer Camp and Last Year, Friday the 13th: The Video Game will be an asymmetrical multiplayer affair where one player is the hulking, hockey mask-wearing Jason and the other players take control of the expendable (and likely oversexed) teens.
Friday the 13th: The Video Game is currently on track for an October 2015 release and will use concepts and characters from the franchise’s 35-year history as well as the upcoming Friday the 13th television show.
