‘Friday the 13th The Game’ is Just $6 on Xbox One Right Now
LeBron James isn’t the only one saving where Friday the 13th is concerned, as Xbox One owners can save 85% on the price of Friday the 13th The Game right now.
Gun Media’s asymmetrical multiplayer horror is going for the bargain price of just $6.00 in the North American Microsoft Store and £4.80 in the UK Store. The deal runs for the next 8 days until Halloween so plenty of time to grab a slice of camp counseller-killing action.
Of course, the big disclaimer to be had here is that the game’s future is still uncertain with all the recent legal goings-on surrounding the Friday the 13th license, but at this price, it’s definitely worth a pop at this price if you haven’t already dipped into it before.
PlayStation 4 users can still download the game as part of October’s PS Plus lineup.
If that’s not your preferred flavor of Jason for Halloween, then Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle is out on Nintendo Switch this week, and we’ll have a review of that in the coming days.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
