Friday the 13th game
Be afraid. Lexington-based interactive game publisher Gun Media LLC is set to unleash the hotly anticipated multiplayer video horror title “Friday the 13th: The Game,” based on the long-running slasher movie franchise.
On Friday, May 26, gamers will be able to join the carnage at Camp Crystal Lake on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The company says a Macintosh version is planned but not yet certain.
The game costs $40 for digital download and $60 for the physical version.
Gun Media funded the project, in part, with a successful $700,000 Kickstarter campaign in 2015, a sign of the rabid following the series has engendered.
The game, like the film, follows various scenarios that pit hockey-mask wearing villain Jason Voorhees against teenage camp counselors.
