It’s called the “Devil’s Pitchfork,” and it’s ready to tear teenagers apart.
Earlier this week, Tom Savini himself presented us with our first look at gameplay footage of his newly-designed version of Jason Voorhees, which will appear as a playable character in the upcoming “Friday the 13th: The Game” – if you pre-ordered and nabbed that particular perk, that is. Savini’s Jason, based on the finale of Jason Goes to Hell, has literally just emerged from the fiery depths of Hell, and he’s got the battle scares to prove it. With flames coming off his body and his mask charred and black, Savini’s “Hell Jason” is, in a word, AWESOME.
But Hell Jason doesn’t just use a machete to kill teens. No, he uses the “Devil’s Pitchfork,” glimpsed in the gameplay footage. You can take a closer look at the new weapon below!
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 and was set for release this month. Lucky for those who took part in the campaign at they’ll have early access to beta before the year’s end that will include a code for keys to make it sharable with 4 additional friends.

In addition, according to IGN, the game’s full multiplayer component will become available in early 2017 and include 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.
Players who pre-order the game in digital or physical form will receive the single player component at no additional charge, adds the site.
