The Status Of The New In-Development Friday The 13th Video Game

 There has been a new official Friday the 13th video game in early development for a few years now. This was first confirmed in 2023 by franchise composer Harry Manfredini and then confirmed later thereafter again in July 2025 at San Diego Comic-Con by Horror Inc. Their Vice President Robbie Barsamian described the new Friday The 13th game as a "new sequel game" and said it's a top priority alongside a new movie. 

No developer, title, gameplay style, or release window has been officially revealed yet. It's still very early so expect more details this summer, perhaps, or sometime into 2027. 

Some rumored game developers and studios include:

- Warner Bros. Games

- Gun Media/Illfonic

- Blumhouse Games

- Supermassive Games

Fans of the Gun Media Friday The 13th game are hoping to keep the Asymmetrical gameplay where Jason is versus counselors for the new game but also hope that there is a new single player story mode incorporated into the new Horror Inc. game. 

We talked to Horror Inc. last August during the Sweet Revenge premier and were assured that they are aware of the fan's concerns about keeping the asymmetrical gameplay but are definitely exploring single player mode as well. We shall see what can be created and what makes sense for the new developers and producers chosen for the new video game.

About the old Friday The 13th: The Game

Friday the 13th: The Game was a third-person, asymmetrical multiplayer title where one player controls Jason Voorhees while the remaining seven control camp counselors trying to survive the night. It's a classic horror fan's dream, no shaky cam, no found footage.

The game (by Gun Media) is now effectively dead with official servers shut down December 31, 2024 due to licensing issues from the franchise rights battle that lingered on for years.
