Illfonic’s Friday the 13th Game Delayed

Today there is news that Illfonic’s Friday the 13th game has been delayed from Fall 2016 to Spring 2017.The delay is seemingly due to standard game development stuff, I for one am ok with that since if you release a game when its not done, horrible things can happen (I’m looking at you FNAF World)

The bigger news is that developer IllFonic is adding a single-player campaign to Friday the 13th. The story mode is currently set to launch in the summer of 2017, a few months after the multiplayer rolls out. What will the story of the game be? we can only speculate, like maybe you play as Jason on the hunt for teenager blood! or maybe you’re a teenager trying to survive.

Other details; Tommy Jarvis will be a playable character, Packanack Lodge will be added as the third map, and there will be offline AI bots. Are you disappointed in this news? I know I am NOT, woo story mode!

Friday the 13th developers are determined to include a single player mode

There is still hope for a single player mode to be added to Friday the 13th.Even though Gun Media fell 1 million dollars short of their goal on Kickstarter, co-creator Wes Keltner plans to put every dime they get from the game (pre-orders, etc.) back into the game.

Keltner explained that they chose the multiplayer game option because not only was it cheaper, but multiplayer would prevent the game from being linear by adding a human element.   However, if a single player mode is ever added it will entail the player stepping into the role of either Jason Voorhees or counselor with a Hitman approach;  if you play the game long enough, you can figure out the actions of the characters and what to do.
