Here’s Exactly When You’ll Be Able to Play ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’
We thought we weren’t getting a new Friday the 13th this year. We thought we’d never see Kane Hodder play Jason Voorhees again. We’re happy to say we were wrong.
Tomorrow, May 26th, marks the long awaited release of Friday the 13th: The Game, which Gun Media and developer Illfonic are bringing to Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Steam as a digital download ahead of a physical release that’s coming later this year. But when will you be able to play? Well, it depends on how you’re playing.
We’ve just learned that the game will hit the following platforms at the following times:
- STEAM: 12am EST
- PS4: 8am PST
- Xbox One: 12am EST
Friday the 13th: The Game gives you the opportunity to finally be Jason Voorhees; stalk camp counselors across Crystal Lake as Jason, or assume the role of a helpless camper and attempt to survive the night. Kane Hodder performed the motion capture for Jason, Tom Savini designed the kills, and Harry Manfredini provided the music!

The game’s single-player component is expected in the Summer.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
