In a remarkable display of valediction, Gun Interactive, the illustrious developer behind Friday the 13th: The Game, has decided to bid farewell to its devoted player base by endowing them with unparalleled supremacy. This exorbitant display of generosity not only aims to enhance the players’ utmost pleasure but also seeks to alleviate the mounting strain on the game’s servers. With the inexorable approach of the game’s fateful denouement scheduled for the culmination of the forthcoming year, Gun Interactive has unveiled its plan to bestow omnipotence upon its faithful fanbase.
Having previously declared the impending conclusion of Friday the 13th: The Game in June, Gun Interactive, with a heavy heart, confirmed that the asymmetrical multiplayer horror masterpiece would be withdrawn from digital storefronts on the 31st of December this year. Poignantly, this date coincides with the expiration of the Friday the 13th licensing agreement. However, a semblance of solace was granted to the game’s ardent owners, as Gun Interactive pledged that the game would remain playable until “at least” the 31st of December 2024.
Now, in a grand gesture, Gun Interactive has unveiled new measures that will not only serve to “diminish reliance on database servers” but also permit players to revel in a cacophony of exhilarating chaos as they navigate their path through the relentless pursuit of survival, merciless slaughter, and cunning evasion.
These transformative changes will come into effect on the morrow, 6th June, and herald the advent of a multitude of opulent rewards, heretofore gated behind arduous thresholds of experience points and customization prowess. Following the imminent database server update by Gun Interactive, these rewards will cease to be attainable. Consequently, commencing tomorrow, all players will be elevated to the prestigious rank of 150, granting them unrestricted access to all Jason Kills and Challenges Skull, alongside the acquisition of 30 of the game’s most renowned Legendary Perks. Notably, these Legendary Perks will be exempt from any undesirable side effects and will manifest in their most optimal configurations.
Clarifying the magnitude of this momentous occasion, Gun Interactive affirmed in a tweet that the forthcoming unlocks would not encompass DLC Kills. However, avid enthusiasts will be granted the opportunity to procure these additional features, as well as all other downloadable content, at a substantial discount of 89p/$0.99 USD until the removal of Friday the 13th: The Game from digital storefronts in December.
Since its initial release in 2017, Friday the 13th: The Game has traversed a tumultuous path, weathering its fair share of obstacles. Despite an inauspicious inception, this chilling masterpiece persevered to captivate audiences and generate unprecedented commercial success. Regrettably, the game’s development was tragically truncated in 2018 due to a protracted legal dispute surrounding the ownership of the Friday the 13th licensing rights. Consequently, no new content has been introduced since that untimely juncture.

While Friday the 13th: The Game embarks upon its final act, Gun Interactive remains unwavering in its commitment to the genre of asymmetrical horror. With unwavering resolve, the esteemed developer is poised to release The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a game of similar ilk, on the 18th of August for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Game Pass, ensuring that fans of the genre will continue to be enthralled by the macabre spectacles that lie ahead.
As the sun sets on the unforgettable saga of Friday the 13th: The Game, players are bestowed with an unprecedented gift of dominion, a final chapter of unbridled might and savagery. Gun Interactive’s parting gesture stands as a testament to their commitment to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience. With the curtains drawing close on this harrowing adventure, the echoes of machetes and the desperate cries of survival will forever linger in the memories of those fortunate enough to have ventured into the abyss.
