Fun fact: The Part IV narrative actually takes place on Monday 16th
As it’s Friday the 13th today, it makes sense that survival-horror game Friday the 13th would be celebrating its name🍸sake. Indeed they are, as the slasher title will be getting some new content, as well as some spooky new weather effects and an XP boosti💎ng weekend.
The update is titled “The Final Chapter” which was the subtitle given to the fourth Friday the 13th movie, befor💞e go♔ing on to have six sequels, as well as numerous spin-offs and a (pretty good) remake.
The game will receive a new map based on the location of The Final Chapter: the home of hero Tommy Jarvis (played in the movie by young Corey Feldman). A new counselor, the tye-dye-sporting hippie Mitch Floyd and, of course, a new Jason, sporting his chubby, mutated look from the 1984 movie and wielding his grisly new tool, the “pig-splitter”. Eww.
Sadly, no reference appears to have been ma๊de to Crispin♚ Glover, nor his from the movie.
If that wasn’t enough, the game will also be getting some new weather effects, and a double points boost for all players for the duration of the weekend. So get out there and get stalking those teenagers (in the game, obviously.)
