‘Friday the 13th’ Composer Harry Manfredini Involved in New Video Game Adaptation?
With the rights to the Friday the 13th franchise finally starting to clear up and a new TV series headed to Peacock next year, you’re probably wondering where that leaves any future video game adaptations of the franchise. Well, according to longtime series composer Harry Manfredini, there’s apparently something new in the works as we speak.
RelyOnHorror‘s William Lockwood recently attended Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco’s Crystal Lake Reunion event, where he met up with Manfredini to talk about his experiences composing the scores for the Friday the 13th series, as well as the 2017 game by IllFonic and Gun Interactive.
According to Manfredini, he’ll be working on the music for a new, as yet unannounced Friday the 13th game!
Manfredini says that the new game is being developed by a different developer this time around, and will feature “more realistic looking” characters. It will also apparently not be in the asymmetrical multiplayer vein of the previous game, though he couldn’t elaborate on the details.
This is about all anyone knows at the present time about this new game, so it’s something we’ll have to keep an eye on.
Meanwhile, Gun Interactive is in the midst of developing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which is set to launch for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on August 18. It will also be available day one on Xbox Game Pass.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
