Brand new Friday the 13th game announced featuring 1 v 7 multiplayer

A brand new Friday the 13th game has just been announced for PS4, Xbox One and PC. It is currently on Kickstarter seeking $700K to make the game along with a host of unrevealed stretch goals.

It will be a multiplayer only title using a 7 v 1 format where we get to control Jason himself. Our task will be to take out as many of the seven camp counselors as we can roaming about Camp Crystal Lake. It will be played in a third person format and feature some of the most brutal killing animations you can imagine according to developer Gun Media. Whether you want to sneak up and break a counselor’s neck from behind, slam them down on a body of spikes or just repeatedly smash their face into a tree your imagination is where the ability stops.

Another piece of exciting news is Kane Hodder, actor in the Jason movies, will be playing the motion capture for Jason in the game to ensure some of the most true to life footage be shown in the game. Counselors will need to decide whether or not to fight Jason or run away and plan another strategy. After all, we all know how it works out for the counselor when they try and take the big guy on their own, right?

The game is being developed using the Unreal Engine and is aiming for a mature rating. According to Gun Media “Collectively, we wanted to make certain that this game delivers the same kind of fun, brutal scares and creative kills that the franchise is known for and didn’t want to risk having to tell our story with a “T” for Teen rating. We don’t want that. You don’t want that.

You can help support its development on the Kickstarter page and be sure to check out the trailer and some images below.
