‘Friday The 13th: The Game’ Kickstarter Announced! 7 Vs. 1 Multiplayer Horror Mayhem

Holy crap guys. This game NEEDS to get funded. The team over at Gun Media have secured the rights to Friday The 13th and are turning it into an asymmetrical multiplayer game!

Initially designed as an original slasher concept, Gun Media were able to snag the rights to Friday The 13th from it’s creator Sean S. Cunningham. They are turning their brilliant idea into the first Friday The 13th game since the legendarily hard NES title. Check out the trailer, and Kickstarter pitch videos below.

Friday the 13th: The Game is a third-person, asymmetrical multiplayer title where one player controls Jason Voorhees while the remaining seven control camp counselors trying to survive the night.That’s right…1v7 multiplayer set in the semi-open world of Camp Crystal Lake! It’s a classic horror fan’s dream, no shaky cam, no found footage. We want you to know we’re revitalizing the golden era of slashers, and putting you at the controls of each horrific, blood-splattered moment.

 

Friday the 13th is the definition of horror to the millions of fans around the world. A masked killer going after the young and vulnerable; it grabs our attention, it frightens us, and yet we all come back for more. Friday the 13th: The Game will give you the feeling of horror and dread that you expect from Jason Voorhees. This will be the ultimate asymmetrical horror experience unlike anything you’ve seen – a title we’re proud to introduce that is worthy of the name ‘Friday the 13th’.

This looks freaking incredible, and I am pretty sure that Gun Media is going to knock it out of the park. They’ve assembled a team that consists of the films creator, Sean S. Cunningham, Tom Savini and Kane Hodder (the most recent actor to don the Hockey Mask of horror).

They’ve already raised just over $177k of their $700k goals. For more information be sure to head over and check out their Kickstarter to check out their Pre-Alpha screenshots!
