As we just learned this morning via an announcement trailer, Gun Media and Illfonic are bringing Friday the 13th: The Game to Playstation 4 and Xbox One on Friday, October 13th. Of course, the digital release has been available for a couple months now.
One of the coolest things about the game is that the developers are continually making it better, fixing various gameplay issues and adding new content like the recent NES Jason skin – the aforementioned physical release will include brand new “bloody Jason” skins for every single playable Jason.
What else is coming soon? In an in-depth, must-read interview with Games Industry this week, Gun Media’s Wes Keltner noted that “players can expect new maps, characters, Easter eggs and other great updates in the near future.“
Additionally, Kane Hodder is currently doing the motion capture work for brand new kills!
Various tweets from the developers today confirmed the forthcoming additions.
