Friday the 13th: The Game will deliver a terrifying combination of features designed to satisfy gamers and fans of the Friday the 13th franchise alike. In addition to bringing the tension and horror of the movies to life, the game will also let players don the mask of Jason Voorhees for the first time and control all new levels of brutal action! The development team had earlier collaborated on the unreleased survival horror-themed game Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp and plans to integrate much of that design into the new Friday the 13th game.

The team at Gun Media, IllFonic and Crystal Lake Entertainment are thrilled to announce that its Friday the 13th: The Game kickstarter campaign has been successful and is fully funded with a few days to spare.

“We already had funding to make the original concept of the game,’ said Gun studio head and co-creator Wes Keltner. ‘The moment we became Friday the 13th: The Game, we knew we had a responsibility to give every single Friday the 13th fan (ourselves included), the game we’ve all been waiting for. To do that, Kickstarter was the answer, and fans have delivered!”

“This has been a rollercoaster ride from the start. From announcing Summer Camp, to becoming the official Friday the 13th game, and now we have the backing of a legion of fans? To say I’m excited would be putting it lightly. I’m downright ecstatic!” said Randy Greenback, Executive Director.

“This is a game that pairs well with me like fine wine and a steak or a dead body and a tight crawl space. I'm extremely honored to be working on this game and I can't wait to show everyone how awesome this game truly is. Anyone and everyone who calls themselves a fan of the horror genre will enjoy this game. The weaker minds? Well, they may need to sleep with the lights on for a while…” said Kedhrin Gonzalez, Creative Director, Illfonic Studios.

“The fans of Friday the 13th are a lot like Jason; undying. I’m so thrilled that they stepped up and made this happen. I’ve always said that horror fans are some of the most loyal fans, but this kind of outpouring of support is humbling,” said Sean S. Cunningham, director of the original Friday the 13th movie.

The Kickstarter will officially wrap up on November, Friday the 13th, but the team has several stretch goals planned out, including a single player experience at $1,625,000 and the inclusion of Pamela Voorhees as a killer at $3,775,000!
