It’s been 16 years since Jason Voorhees last terrorized the big screen, but the wait is over. During the San Diego Comic-Con, Horror Inc. officially confirmed the return of the most iconic slasher movie killer: a new film and a Friday the 13th video game are already in development.
A new Friday the 13th sequel is in the works
Robbie Barsamian, Vice President of Horror Inc., made the announcement during the event’s panel:
A new cinematic sequel and a new video game are now our top priority. That’s where we’re putting all our energy,” he stated to a cheering crowd.
Although the involved studios and release platforms have not been revealed, it’s clear that both projects are officially in production.
Jason’s return also comes in the form of a video game
After the closure of the 2017 multiplayer game, many thought the Friday the 13th video game era was over. But this new bet aims to relaunch the franchise from scratch and recover its legacy in the interactive world as well.
It hasn’t been confirmed whether it will be a survival horror, a narrative experience, or a new asymmetric game, but expectations are high.
Crystal Lake: the prequel series is also on its way
If that weren’t enough, Crystal Lake, a prequel series developed by A24 and Peacock, is also in production, exploring the origins of the Jason myth.
Although the material shown at Comic-Con was exclusive to attendees, official images are expected to be released in the coming days.
What does this mean for Jason game fans?
This triple announcement represents a unique opportunity to revive the franchise on all fronts. For players and horror genre fans, Jason’s return marks a new era in interactive and cinematic horror. We remind you that we’ll also have, in this case, a new series in the saga, Wolfenstein.
