We've been hard at work over here at Gun Media and IllFonic to bring out our next major content update for fans with tons of free stuff to check out! The three major additions to the game include;


Virtual Cabin 2.0

The Virtual Cabin 2.0 is an improved and enlarged version of our 'Virtual Cabin' that was offered to fans on PC during development of the game. This latest Virtual Cabin has expanded upon the idea in just about every measurable way, with tons of major secrets hidden in every section of the house. The Virtual Cabin is something of a 'dev diary' and museum to Friday the 13th on the surface, however those that look deeper into the mystery of the cabin will be rewarded with secrets that are sure to send a shock wave through the entire Friday the 13th fanbase.







The Virtual Cabin 2.0 is free on PC with the latest update. The cabin is a single player addition to the game set in first person as players explore the cabin, as nothing is what it seems on the surface.

Offline Bots

Offline bots have been added to the game to allow for players to enjoy single player content. Offline bots work on every map of the game and is meant to be enjoyed by those not looking to play with others while still getting the Friday the 13th: The Game experience. Players will take control of Jason Voorhees as he stalks each camp looking for his counselor victims.

Shelly Finkelstein added as playable counselor

Franchise favorite and beloved character Shelly has been added to the game as a playable character. Shelly joins the game right away, so you won't have to grind to unlock him! Those familiar with the films know that Shelly was directly responsible for bringing the famous Hockey Mask straight to Jason in the third movie! We've partnered with original actor Larry Zerner, who is reprising his role just for the game!

Last night, we rolled out a hotfix in preparation for the updated level cap that will be implemented in the upcoming patch.


Players that reach the level cap are now able to obtain Customization Points every time they gain enough EXP for a "level rollover"

Basically, anyone currently at level 101 will be able to level up indefinitely for Customization Point rewards while staying at their current level.

Every 10,000 EXP you gain at 101 will cause your EXP bar to rollover and grant you 2,000 Customization Points.

This system will also apply to players who reach the updated level cap of 150 in the next patch, but with update values for rewards.
