The studio behind the Twitch hit “Friday the 13th: the Game” is working on a new game but does not want to neglect the slasher. Fans are worried about exactly that. Meanwhile, the serious issues on Xbox One are finally being addressed.
Last week, it was announced that developer Illfonic is working on a new game, the zombie shooter “Dead Alliance.“
Fans of their current game “Friday the 13th: The Game” did not find this very funny. They were afraid: Well, if they are making a new game, then they will neglect ours. After all, we need all their love and attention.
Illfonic is now working on another game but still wants to take care of Friday the 13th
The fans’ concerns prompted the studio to issue a statement saying: We can work on both games simultaneously. And we must do so. To survive in the gaming industry through all its ups and downs, we cannot put everything into one game.
They have been working on Dead Alliance for a while, even before Friday the 13th was released.
They will not neglect the “old game.” On the contrary, now 30 people are working on the project, originally there were only 20.
Xbox One update finally released
In line with the increased efforts for Friday the 13th, there is news from the US site GameSpot. Illfonic has finally managed to implement the major update for Xbox One. The Xbox One has been the ongoing issue for Friday the 13th since its launch in May. At the end of June, they had already announced the update to fix the problems, but they were apparently persistent.
At one point, it was even said that an old version was still running on the Xbox, it was that buggy.
The update was a major effort by Illfonic to eliminate “major bugs.” The update is now said to significantly improve playability on Xbox One, according to a statement.
There were crashes in matchmaking. They claim to have fixed those now. The save issue was also addressed by the patch.
