Friday the 13th: The Game may return according to new press release

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.

Here’s the quote:

Under the agreement, Striker, in conjunction with Horror’s CMO Sheri Conn, will oversee global consumer products for Jason Universe, the definitive umbrella brand for the iconic horror franchise.

This initiative also includes Friday the 13th: The Game and Crystal Lake, giving fans new ways to connect with the legacy of Jason Voorhees through a broad range of merchandise worldwide.

Nothing has been outright confirmed, but it does seem that these new license holders are interested in continuing the game. We will update this post if anything concrete is announced.
