Jason Voorhees Slashing His Way into WB Video Game ‘MultiVersus’!
Just days after the announcement of the Jason Universe, which promised upcoming video games and more as part of a whole new era for the Jason Voorhees character, a new trailer for the relaunch of MultiVersus this morning has confirmed Jason is coming to the game.
WB Games and Player First Games will release MultiVersus on May 28, with the video game uniting pop culture icons from the Warner Bros. brand. That includes Stripe from Gremlins and Jason Voorhees himself, whose movie rights are under the WB/New Line umbrella.
Watch the official MultiVersus launch trailer below for the Jason reveal!
Jason’s addition to MultiVersus is a pretty big deal, as it wasn’t all that long ago that the Friday the 13th franchise’s rights issues spelled the end of his own video game. Now that all rights holders are working together, this is only the beginning of the character’s big return.
MultiVersus is a free-to-play platform fighter with an ever-expanding cast of iconic characters and legendary universes, various online modes, in-game events, on-going content-filled seasons, and more.
MultiVersus will be available as a free download for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series , Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, with full cross-play and cross-progression support.
As for the Jason Universe, that’s promising “activations spanning a wide range of platforms from entertainment, games, immersive experiences, merchandise and more to be announced throughout 2024.” A TV series is also in the works, but no movies at this time.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
