Licensing agency Striker LLC has recently mentioned Friday the 13th: The Game as an avenue for fans to experience to franchise. This was all in a recent press release announcing a new partnership with the IP.
The asymmetrical survival horror game, which previously made it to Nintendo Switch, was originally delisted in 2023 with all servers shutting down in 2024. This was due to the developers licensing rights expiring, and therefore being unable to use the Jason Vorhees IP.
The release mentions that they are overseeing all Friday the 13th products and are looking to push the franchise in new ways, specifically name dropping Friday the 13th: The Game. They even group it with more of the franchises projects that are currently in development.

Metroid Fusion is still one of the best Metroidvanias ever, and here’s why
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
At the time of writing, we still have a few weeks to go until the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s also been a pretty quiet year for Nintendo in terms of first-party releases so far, with only Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. That means it’s a perfect time to delve into some of the company’s older games, and I recently played and 100 percent completed Metroid Fusion for the first time. In recent years, the Metroid series has seen something of a resurgence – between Metroid Dread, Metroid Prime Remastered, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, you can definitely tell that Nintendo is pushing to bring this franchise back into the spotlight.
My first Metroid game was actually Metroid Dread, and even though I originally wasn’t a big fan of Metroidvanias, I loved it – you’re left completely to your own devices to figure out the right path, and the story really ramps up in the latter half of the game. This is completely obvious to those who have beaten Metroid Fusion before, but I didn’t realize how similar the game was to Metroid Dread. Not just in terms of the genre – the story shares many similar elements. So many, in fact, that Metroid Dread is essentially a direct sequel!
