‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Just Shared an Intriguing Teaser Clue
They’re teasing something here. We’re just not sure what.
In addition to Friday the 13th: The Game getting a Playstation 4 and Xbox One release on Friday, October 13, we also know that a new patch is in the works that’ll bring smaller, deadlier maps into the game. What else is coming soon?
Through their Twitter and Facebook accounts today, the game’s developers posted the above image, without any caption or explanation. It shows seven black dots and one blue dot against a white background, leaving rabid fans of the game to speculate on what the hell the image means.
The most common theory? The blue dot represents A New Beginning‘s Roy Burns, who of course wore blue overalls and a mask with blue markings in the franchise’s fifth installment. There are currently seven playable versions of Jason in the game, so it stands to reason that the blue dot represents a forthcoming eighth addition.
Another theory? The blue dot *could* indicate that the hotly-anticipated single-player mode is arriving real soon. We already know that the mode is in the works, and though the color blue doesn’t seem to have any discernible connection to it, it is interesting that the graphic singles out ONE dot among seven others.
Or maybe it’s hinting at something else entirely. Let’s hear your theories!
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
