Just in time for Halloween, a game is being made based on the classic franchise and they have the official license too.

Sounds like they were going to make a game base on the movies but had planned to use another name until the original creator came along and let them have the license.

What is Friday the 13th: The Game?

Friday the 13th: The Game is a third-person, asymmetrical multiplayer title where one player controls Jason Voorhees while the remaining seven control camp counselors trying to survive the night.That's right...1v7 multiplayer set in the semi-open world of Camp Crystal Lake! It's a classic horror fan's dream, no shaky cam, no found footage. We want you to know we're revitalizing the golden era of slashers, and putting you at the controls of each horrific, blood-splattered moment.

Friday the 13th is the definition of horror to the millions of fans around the world. A masked killer going after the young and vulnerable; it grabs our attention, it frightens us, and yet we all come back for more. Friday the 13th: The Game will give you the feeling of horror and dread that you expect from Jason Voorhees. This will be the ultimate asymmetrical horror experience unlike anything you’ve seen - a title we’re proud to introduce that is worthy of the name ‘Friday the 13th’.

I'm not a huge fan of multiplayer games but this does sound pretty cool. It's being made for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The goal is $700,000 which sounds like a lot, hopefully there's enough fans to get this made!
