After a long dry spell, Jason Voorhees finally returns in 2017 to take on helpless teens in both digital and cinematic form. Developer Gun Media is giving fans who have been eagerly awaiting «Friday the 13th: The Game» an early Christmas present, immersing them in the deadly world of the official video game for a full 17 minutes. In the game, which will be released around summer 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and of course also PC users, players either slip into the role of a victim or Jason Voorhees himself. Both have various weapons and tools at their disposal to destroy the other side in the most bloodthirsty way possible sent to the realm of the dead. Sean S. Cunningham, creator of the Friday 13th series, is excited:
It's been 30 years since fans last saw a game for Friday the 13th series. The technology has finally reached a level with which we can create a game that lives up to the expectations of the fans. It has always been a dream of mine to turn the players into Jason and hunt down the unsuspecting campers that hang around Camp Crystal Lake. I am delighted to be bringing these ideas to life now!
