A New Friday the 13th Sequel Game is Coming

A new video game based on the iconic Friday the 13th franchise is officially in the works, reigniting excitement among fans of horror gaming. Announced during a San Diego Comic-Con panel, Robert Barsamian, executive vice president at Horror Inc, confirmed that both a sequel game and a new movie are top priorities for the franchise, which has been dormant for years.

While details remain scarce, Barsamian hinted that the upcoming game may not be a direct follow-up to 2017’s Friday the 13th: The Game, which was a hit among fans for its asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay. The original game faced challenges after its license expired, leading to its removal from sale, but the new project aims to bring the beloved hockey-mask-wearing villain back to life in a fresh format.
