Although there are many who considerFriday the 13th: The Gameto be one ofthe best multiplayer games of 2017, there are also lots of fans who have expressed that the title lacks an edge due to the killer, Jason Voorhees, being too easy to evade. With this being the case, the title’s developer, IllFonic, recently took to the game’s official blog to reveal that a new patch is on the way that will buff some of the slasher icon’s abilities to make him more formidable.
According to IllFonic,Friday the 13th: The Game’s next update is set to “bring a proper balance” to the title, as a handful of Jason’s abilities are going to be kicked up a notch so that those playing as Camp Counselors will have a little more difficult time escaping the Crystal Lake killer. For instance, the forthcoming patch will provide each Jason with “a small speed increase” to make him “feel more relentless,” two additional throwing knives at the beginning of a match, and a reworking of his “grab reach and radius” that will help him nab Counselors with more aplomb.
While the full list of patch notes for the next update toFriday the 13th: The Gamehas yet to be revealed, the aforementioned tweaks to Jason will likely be just some of the alterations coming to the character and the title itself. The patch is set to go live later this week, and it’s safe to presume that the change log will likely include many error, glitch, and bug fixes for the game as well.
Beyond these refinements coming toFriday the 13th: The Game, fans are also waiting with bated breath to learn when Gun Media and IllFonic will finally incorporate the oft-requestedJason Xskinfrom the film of the same name. Neither the publisher nor developer have provided a time frame as to when players should expect the skin to arrive, but hopefully the next patch will set the stage for its inclusion soon.
Friday the 13th: The Gameis out now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
