Here’s the “Friday the 13th: The Game” Release Date!!
The wait is almost over and it will be over soon. Grab your pitchfork, machete or whatever, and prepare for Gun Media’s “Friday the 13th: The Game” on May 26th, 2017!
The game will launch on Xbox One, PS4 and Steam as a digital download for $40USD, which means most of us should have no excuse to be playing together release week.
This is a huge deal because “Friday the 13th: The Game” remains canon, so much so that there’s even a special version of Jason Voorhees, created by Tom Savini, designed to continue the story after Jason went to Hell.
For the purists out there, Kane Hodder performed the motion capture for Jason, while the great Harry Manfredini provided the music! For the first time since 1989, you have 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.
Oh, and there’s a badass new trailer that shows the characters and wide variety of Jasons, as well as the kills, weapons, locations, and so much more.
Gun Media and developer Illfonic’s “Friday the 13th: The Game”, initially announced as “Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp”, was funded through Kickstarter back in 2015.

In addition, the game’s full multiplayer component includes Tommy Jarvis as a playable character. Movie setting Packanack Lodge will also be included in this release as a third playable map. This initial release will be followed by the full Summer 2017 release of the single-player component, including AI Bots.
The movie may be dead, yet…
JASON LIVES!
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
