Friday the 13th: The Game – Physical Copy Gets Release Date

Published

on

Friday the 13th: The Game – the multiplayer smash hit – has already had fans screaming since its initial release as of May 26th this year. However a big announcement was released this morning via their Facebook page as Gun Media and Illfonic announced that a physical copy of the game can finally be yours!

As of right now the game has only been available as a download for Steam, Xbox One and PS4, a small quirk that left many fans of the massive horror franchise feeling a little disenchanted. Plenty of gamers would prefer to own an actual physical copy of the disk. Not to mention the glamour of showing off the lovely cover art of Jason in the middle of another spectacular kill.

I’m actually one such fan, and now I have the fun dilemma of already owning the game – I couldn’t wait and had to download it – but now wanting a physical copy to add to my collection. These are the trials of hardcore horror collectors, are they not?

Despite the early complaints out there circling among unhappy gamers, I have fallen for Friday the 13th: The Game, and am almost obsessively committed to it. Sure, there were the bugs and glitches upon its initial launch, but many of those issues have been corrected already through updates. Overall, the good times I’ve had playing it outweigh the negative experiences.

Friday the 13th: The Game is playable one of two ways – you will either choose to be Jason and set out to kill as many counselors you can get your hands on, or you will be one of those unfortunate counselors trying to survive Camp Blood. Good luck.

Already players get to choose from a great roster of fan-favorite Jason skins. The iconic look from the movies are nearly all here: Jason from Part 2, Part 3, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8 and Jason Goes to Hell are all currently at the ready.

As an added bonus, the team has thrown in the silly (but come on, we know we love it anyway) NES Jason skin. Having to outrun the NES Jason is both oddly terrifying and hilarious all at once. But there is also the promise of even more upcoming skins and maps for future DLC – not to mention the Single Player mode that’s still to be released.

Gun Media and Illfonic have said that along with the physical copy release will be new skins (clothes) for the counselors as well as “bloody Jason” skins for all your favorite Jason types. So as if playing as Jason wasn’t already enough fun, we will soon get to stomp around as a blood drenched Jason too!

The physical copy will be released Friday the 13th this October. Just in time for Halloween!

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”

In related news to the Terminator world, Linda Hamilton stated I’m done. I’m done. I have nothing more to say. The story’s been told, and it’s been done to death. Why anybody would relaunch it is a mystery to me. She claims she doesn’t want to play Sarah Connor anymore. You can check out more of what she said here.

If you were expecting another Paranormal Activity sequel to be a feature film you’d be surprised. Maybe there will be one, but for now, Variety reports that DreadXP co-director and creative director Brian Clarke (DarkStone Digital) are creating a video game based on the series.

“We are thrilled to work with Paramount Game Studios and to have the opportunity to bring the world of ‘Paranormal Activity’ to gamers everywhere,” Epic Pictures CEO and DreadXP producer Patrick Ewald told Variety. “The films are steeped in rich lore and creative scares, and under the stewardship of creative director Brian Clarke, DreadXP’s ‘Paranormal Activity’ video game will honor those core tenets and offer horror fans one of our most terrifying games yet.”

Clarke, who worked on the horror video game The Mortuary Assistant said the Paranormal Activity franchise shows just how much reach a genre-specific title can accomplish, “If you thought ‘The Mortuary Assistant’ was scary, we’re taking what we learned during the development of that title and cranking it up with a more reactive and horrifying haunting system. It’s going to be intense!”

The new game is scheduled to be released in 2026.
