Meanwhile the series around “Friday the 13th” exists 37 years and also in these films one was not spared from stupid protagonists, whose actions are difficult or impossible to understand. A planless struggle for survival often leads to inevitable, yet for us expectable and cruel death. But would you actually react differently and, above all, more sensibly in a precarious situation, such as a meeting with a machete-wielding psychopath? Owners of an Xbox One, PC or PS4 can find out for themselves from May 26th, 2017, when “Friday the 13th: The Game” celebrates its premiere. The game, realized by means of crowdfunding, could finally be completed after intensive work.
Nobody less than Tom Savini (From Dusk Till Dawn) has worked on the design of the serial killer featured in it. It was he who gave Jason his look in the original 1980 film and the sequel “The Final Chapter”. In the video game and the attached preview video, the artist shows us what Jason Voorhees looks like after his stay in Hell. This variant of the machete-wielding psychopath can only be played by pre-orders or players who supported the project with crowdfunding at the time. All others will have to be content with a “normal” form of hockey mask wearer.
