Friday the 13th: The Game will deliver a terrifying combination of features designed to satisfy gamers and fans of the Friday the 13th franchise alike. In addition to bringing the tension and horror of the movies to life, the game will also let players don the mask of Jason Voorhees for the first time and control all new levels of brutal action! The development team had earlier collaborated on the unreleased survival horror-themed game Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp and plans to integrate much of that design into the new Friday the 13th game.

The team at Gun Media, IllFonic and Crystal Lake Entertainment are thrilled to announce several planned ‘stretch goals’ for the Kickstarter campaign (currently 75% funded), including the potential for fans to play as Pamela Voorhees, the return of Tommy Jarvis and a litany of kills hand-designed by Tom Savini!

First up, we've taken Savini's Workshop & the Sleeping Bag Kill and will be adding those into the game at the 700k base goal. The team has rallied on your behalf and will work on their own time to get these done for you, and they will be included with the game at launch. 

Next, we re-ordered stretch goals, moving some highly sought after goals lower on the list. These are still unannounced and blurred out at the moment, but soon you'll see that what you've been asking for, has now been brought within reach.

Finally, we've added some fan requests, and the most popular ones were moved to lower places on the list so they could be unlocked sooner. It was clear what you wanted, and we hope anyone sitting on the fence will see that we can all make these happen.  

We also wanted to let everyone know that should we not hit all of our Stretch Goals, we will be considering adding them post-launch as DLC updates. We'd love to give them all to everyone and include them in the game by default, but need to hit the goals to do that. I know this has been a question and concern from some of you out there, so I wanted to lump this into today's update to address it.
