There have been rumors that the lawsuit will see some decision soon, but there have been no movements in the case as of writing.
With how slow the American legal system can be, it could take months or years before the case sees any resolution, and that's bad news for fans. This also includes the content that was planned for Friday the 13th: The Game, which first released in summer 2017.įriday the 13th: The Game was supposed to get new content well past its initial development, and there is currently a lot of unreleased content that the developers have to sit on until the licensing issues are resolved. However, due to an ongoing legal battle between two of the series' original creators, fans likely won't get any new appearances from Jason in the near future. One would think that with such renown, Jason would have some kind of new Friday the 13th content in the works. He details that the court ruled the content not "marketably viable" and that it needed to pass console certification.Jason Voorhees is one of the most famous horror icons to ever grace the silver screen, with enough references in pop culture that non-horror fans could easily pick him out of a line-up. Keltner details how he set up an 1800 number as a satirical sex line, with the intention being for fans to call it to hear the characters saying "silly sexy stuff" like commercials from the '80s and '90s. One was a Slumber Party clothing pack where the counselors would wear sleepwear skins.
Keltner reveals that several packs were due to be heading to the game. The legal battle didn't directly involve the studio, but focused on the entire license of the Friday the 13th IP. This was the result of the loss of a legal battle between Horror Inc and the license holder and film director, Victor Miller. He opened the thread with the phrase "Enough Time Has Passed," a reference to the end of the game's dedicated servers in 2020 and its last update. Wes Keltner, co-creator of Friday the 13th: The Game and CEO of Gun Media has taken to Twitter with a thread revealing a number of content plans that were scrapped.
