‘Friday The 13th: The Game’ Slashes to The Nintendo Switch This Spring
Get ready to take Jason on the go.
As reported by Variety (of all places), Gun Media’s award-winning asymmetrical multiplayer game Friday The 13th: The Game will indeed be heading to the Nintendo Switch in the form of the Ultimate Slasher Switch Edition.
Daniel Nixon, Gun Media’s Director of Communications, stated that with the help of their partners at Black Tower and Nighthawk, Jason returns to a Nintendo console for the first time in 30 years. Seriously, the original LJN game for the NES was released back in February 1989.
While there’s no info on just what the Ultimate Slasher Switch Edition includes or when it’ll be released (other than a “Spring 2019” window), but it’s safe to assume that all of the previously-released DLC (apart from Tom Savini’s awesome Hellfire Jason) will be included.
And yes, before anyone starts asking/complaining, the mess that’s currently going on with Victor Miller and Horror Inc. is still preventing new content from being made for the game. It sucks, but at least Jason is back with Nintendo.
Friday The 13th: The Game is also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
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.
