Friday The 13th: The Game NES Jason Added To The Roster
Friday The 13th the game had a rough launch that much is a given fact. Between server issues, technical bugs and absolutely abysmal matchmaking times, fans were having an extremely rough time playing the game. Developers Gun and Illfonic were well aware however, and now that the issues have been resolved want to make a heartfelt apology to fans of the series of films and the game.
Starting June 20th there will be a series of free DLC added to the game for everyone who has stuck with the game through its rough time. Players can expect new costumes for all the counselors, free CP, currency used to buy perks and abilities for the counselors as well as Jason, a double EXP event, and finally adding Jason from the NES Friday The 13th game as a playable character now.
Accompanying retro Jason we also get the full original soundtrack from the NES classic that was a staple in many horror fans childhood. Check out the full reveal trailer here to see just what the Friday The 13th developers have to say.
Are you ready for our first update? We have a few goodies to give you as thanks for your patience during this launch. Coming June 20th! pic.twitter.com/UV9WYQwfpx

I personally can not wait to try out the new retro Jason and seeing how he differs from the other available options. My hope is that he’s a fleshed out character rather than a re-skin of an already existing in game option. However it is based off a rather limited NES game as well as free content so it should be fun either way. Just having the original soundtrack to accompany NES Jason is going to be a great blast of nostalgia.
All of the free content on top of the double EXP weekend that will be hosted is a nice touch, but for me at least, not enough to make up for the disaster that was the games launch. It is however a great sign that the developers are at least trying to make amends with their customers and trying to create a product that will make fans of the Friday The 13th series proud.
If you haven’t already be sure to check out our review of the game here, and stay tuned for our review of the single player portion of the game once it is patched in later on during the summer. Get out there and kill those fashionable new counselors in all your purple and blue glory Jason.

Baffling Footage of “Time Traveler” Captured on Ring Cam
Some physicists think that time travel is possible and in a recent social media story we might believe them.
It all started when a homeowner named Alec Schaal checked his outside security camera remotely. He saw a young gentleman walking aimlessly around the yard seemingly looking for something. The trespassing individual with a backpack over his shoulder entered the homeowner’s tool shed and closed the door. It seemed like a simple case of unlawful intrusion. But as the homeowner reviewed the entire footage he noticed something strange and ended up calling the police.
It became a concern when the interloper never exited the shed. Worried, the homeowner had law enforcement check on the situation but the investigation turned up nothing: the stranger was nowhere to be found, he seemingly disappeared into thin air.
That would have been the end of it, but what happened next is even stranger.
The next day, someone who looks like the first guy emerges from the shed but he appears 30 years older!!
Since this weird story broke, Schaal’s TikTok has been blowing up and he has given several updates. Of course, some people are outright skeptical about the whole thing, while others want more proof which Schaal provides.
In the most recent update, Schaal says TikTok is trying to remove the story from his feed saying that it violates their guidelines about…gambling. He’s appealed but was declined.
Take a look at the videos for yourself and let us know what you think.
@alecschaal I’ve literally watched this 1 million times and he never leaves. Where did he go? 😭👀

‘Violent Night’ Director’s Next Project is a Shark Movie
Sony Pictures is getting in the water with director Tommy Wirkola for his next project; a shark movie. Although no plot details have been revealed, Variety confirms that the movie will start filming in Australia this summer.
Also confirmed is that actress Phoebe Dynevor is circling the project and is in talks to star. She is probably best known for her role as Daphne in the popular Netflix soap Bridgerton.
Duo Adam McKay and Kevin Messick (Don’t Look Up, Succession) will produce the new film.
Wirkola is from Norway and utilizes a lot of action in his horror films. One of his first films, Dead Snow (2009), about zombie Nazis, is a cult favorite, and his 2013 action-heavy Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is an entertaining distraction.
But 2022’s Christmas blood fest Violent Night starring David Harbour made wider audiences familiar with Wirkola. Coupled with favorable reviews and a great CinemaScore, the film became a Yuletide hit.
Insneider first reported this new shark project.
