San Diego Comic-Con, this weekend, delivered thrilling news for horror fans. Jason Voorhees is set for a major digital comeback. A new video game, officially titled Friday The 13th, is in development, promising a return of the iconic killer’s bloody chaos. Specific details remain under wraps for now.
Jason Voorhees Returns to Gaming and Film
A new Friday the 13th video game and sequel films are in the works.
The confirmation came from Robbie Barsamian, a horror executive. He expressed enthusiasm about the franchise’s future. “New sequel films and new sequel games are at the top of our list,” Barsamian stated. “That’s where most of our energy is gone at this time. And I can tell you finally we are in a position to make it happen.” While official announcements with partners are pending, Barsamian assured that both projects are actively in development.
A New Era for Crystal Lake
Many fans will recall that Friday the 13th: The Game ceased operations at the close of 2023. This followed significant layoffs at the developer, Illfonic. Since then, enthusiasts of the masked murderer have eagerly awaited new content. The current developments suggest that Jason’s reign of terror is far from over.
What kind of experience do you hope for in the new Friday the 13th game? Would you prefer another chaotic multiplayer showdown, or a gripping single-player story steeped in gore?
The announcement also teased a new film titled Sweet Revenge, indicating a dual-pronged comeback for the franchise across both gaming and cinema.
