A new trailer for the game Friday the 13th is filled with blood and violence. Definitely not for the faint-hearted!
After the zombie hype has slowly subsided, the genre of asymmetrical horror games is beginning to make its mark. A highly anticipated representative is Friday the 13th: The Game, which traps 6 campers against a killer on a map. As the name suggests, the killer must murder as many campers as possible within a time limit, with numerous gruesome options available to him. There will be dismemberment, thrown out of windows, stabbing, drowning, and strangling – Jason has a wide range of options.
The game Friday the 13th: The Game is based on the horror film series of the same name, which is a classic of the genre (and had one of the best jump scares of all time).
A new trailer for the game was released at PAX East 2017.
Warning: The trailer is truly not for the faint-hearted and shows very little gameplay. It focuses heavily on the new execution animations, which graphically demonstrate how Jason deals with his victims once he has them in his merciless hands.
Anyone who cannot tolerate rolling heads, severed limbs, and plenty of other brutalities should steer clear of the trailer. You have been warned.
A release date for the game is still pending, only “Spring 2017” has been mentioned – so by June at the latest.
Cortyn says: Unfortunately, the gameplay of Friday the 13th does not convince me as much as that of Dead by Daylight, but the game has not been released yet. If the developers play around with the possibilities a bit, it could become a damn fun game where you can finally kill your roommates when they put the empty milk carton back in the fridge. Erm, you know what I mean. The spark hasn’t ignited for me yet, because pure brutality isn’t enough of a reason for me to buy it.
