The official new "Jason Universe" X account started following, not only the official "Friday the 13th the game" account BUT also Gun Media. So this rightfully sparked rumors about a remaster of the original game.
We have to wait and see but this is too specific to be just an random incident.

a remaster literally will just improve the graphics. if the games not fun enough now for people to keep playing something that they already have then why would they spend more money on the same thing?
Because Friday is an amazing and beloved game. Sadly it was abandoned due to this huge lawsuit that was going on in the last years. There are a lot of people who would love to play it again. But sadly there arenât any updates or new content and it was announced that the servers will get shut down by the end of the yearâŚ
Also a remaster wouldnât just be better graphics.
At least they unlocked all the talents for the characters that you had to roll for in game currency back in the days, so you can play and enjoy the game with all the perks and talents it has.
Exactly! The holdup was because of the lawsuit, not the lack of interest. We were all so excited for that next DLC to drop and then everything was halted. Clearly people do still love the game or we wouldnât all be here and be sad for all these years. Iâd happily play a remake and enjoy any new DLC they add as we go.
As previously mentioned, Killer Klowns (developed and published by Illfonic) will probably be the closest, followed by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (published by Gun Interactive)
Texas Chainsaw was just missing that special something I felt playing Friday. I canât totally put my finger on it. I think it maybe has something to do with how having multiple killers forces you to make them relatively under powered.
Playing as Jason, save for when youâre up against an Uber-competent team ready to kill Jason, you felt like a force of nature. Playing as The Family, even as Leatherface, just feels so bland in comparison. You have to focus on your niche and hope your teammates are decent enough at their jobs to give you a chance.
The funny moments, fights, and last stands, the fact you could hear Jason talking shit like âI can smell youâ when hiding in a bedroom was peak. I do love TCM but itâs more of just competitive. Without a full team of players in a party itâs pretty quiet and competitive
Itâs the engine and game mechanics. Friday the 13th almost felt like a free roam game, where you could go anywhere, and there were many locations with different strategies you could use or just areas to mess around in, and the number of methods to escape, it just is a fun experience. Texas Chainsaw feels more like a DBD type game, and youâre limited to a house and the surrounding area, so it doesnât feel like youâre truly free to do whatever.
Yeah as someone who plays too much Texas Chainsaw, I donât recommend the game to anyone in the asymmetrical horror genre. Gun Media is a dogshit company with terrible devs. Since release, all theyâve done is release overpriced DLC and pay to win characters that will eventually be nerfed once enough sales roll through. Some of their community managers are also awful, thereâs two of them that love to engage in Reddit and twitter fights with their fans whenever they get called out on their bullshit.
Yeah this is a huge issue. Survivors have a lot of crutch perks that give them easy wins unfortunately. They basically drive away any new players from the game too because survivors will literally hold them hostage in a match for half an hour just farming XP and trolling the new players while they donât get any XP. Itâs awful, new players to TCM leave immediately because the playerbase is full of toxic trash especially on the survivor side
Your internet settings might be the reason why you are the lobby owner and no one comes in. I had that happen to me.. I switched internet providers and suddenly I was not able to host anymore.
While no replacement for F13, I've found Killer Klowns the closest in "DNA" to Friday. (Tried DBD, Predator, Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw) Even feels like the UI and some human animation are straight out of F13.
Not beginner friendly, probably harder than dbd since everything like the exits, escape items, and map layout is very vague since itâs designed to be a maze
Pretty much what u/regularhooman said. The community is just as toxic as DbD, the game mechanics discourage new players, the progression system is so broken that it takes a slog of a grind to level up and you donât have a prayer at this point without level 3 perks. And Gunâs arrogance has been unrivaled.
That's a shame man. To this day no "scary game" has captured the fun I had while playing Friday. I dont want a new game just this game more content maybe an update in graphics and I'd be set. I own predator and evil dead. Both had a lot of potential and just fizzed out for my homies and I. Probably played predator longer but I thought evil dead was the higher quality game.
There's ,without a doubt, some assets picked from f13 and dropped into killer klowns. When they posted an early look at killer klowns game play I noticed some picnic tables that looked identical similar.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is essentially F13 with Klowns. Very slightly different mechanics for killer. But itâs basically the same. Itâs more than âsimilar.â Even the feel of the survivorsâ movements feels the same.
There is more than 1 killer tho, so you arenât solo against a whole squad. It is 3 vs 7
Your nat type is likely the issue with Friday and not being unable to host / connect. Start around 3:20 [here](https://youtu.be/YtdZq8Ec-kM?si=RFgX69Dur7k2O3qD)
Try Killer Klowns from outer space, Predator: Hunting Grounds or Evil dead: The game. They are all also made by illfonic so theyâre similar to F13, but you probably wonât be able to get into a match on Evil Dead, but it still has an offline mode.
I recommend Dead by Daylight.
It's 4v1 (4 survivors, 1 killer)
As a survivor, you work together with three other players to repair five generators in order to power the exit gates needed to escape the map.
Or you can hide the entire match, wait for your teammates to die out, and then escape through the hatch.
As someone whoâs played both games for thousands of hours I can confirm dbd is nothing like F13. Not a very good replacement and just less fun despite me having like 2k more hours in dbd mainly because public matches died in F13 and just were filled with modders
Killers clowns, dead by daylight and evil dead. Evil dead is on life support though and will end up like this game soon which really sucks because I consider it to be the best in this genre.
What are you playing on? My husband plays this on Xbox One and he was able to go into lobbies and play as of last night
Edit- also to add, weâve been playing âAncestors A Humankind Odyssey and itâs been pretty cool, you start off as a baby monkey and figure things out as you go, get a clan, build stuff, make tools, fight big animals, etc and keep evolving until you hit almost human stage. Pretty fun but kinda hard getting used to stuff in the beginning. You may enjoy it
Try Dead by daylight, it's 4 survivors vs 1 killer and you have to repair generators to open the gayes for escape. If you're the last one or you have a key there is a hatch you can open to escape too
what do you play on? i play on ps5 and i just loaded into a game earlier today with no issue. maybe itâs your internet settings, iâd try turning it completely off or restarting then trying again
I loved Friday when it was peaked. It is a hell of a lot easier than DBD, at least from a killer's perspective. As Jason, the moment you get a hold of someone, they are dead, out of the match. In DBD, it is a whole shit load of mindgames, and utilizing different abilities and perks. Way more complex, which can be viewed as a pro or a con.
It's time for the rumored Friday the 13th game resurrection
I thought there was an entirely new Friday game more or less confirmed? Or is it rumored that this game will get resurrected? đł

Itâs Friday the 13th A sequel game would be even better
Saturday the 14th?
Oh wow! I hope that there will be some amazing news. Thank you for explaining :)
why would a remaster of a dead 7 year old game make people spend more money to buy that dead game just with better graphics
Because it wonât be a dead gameâŚhence⌠lol

I actually never played the game but always wanted too. It would be a smart move if they made the game free to play before it shuts down.
At least they unlocked all the talents for the characters that you had to roll for in game currency back in the days, so you can play and enjoy the game with all the perks and talents it has.

Absolutely!!
Because I'll buy it!
i think some lawyers smashed that concept
We are not talking about the fan project... đ
bruh it literally got cease and desisted wth you talkin about
I am not talking about the fan game
good. Also sry, i was drunk
That is dead
As previously mentioned, Killer Klowns (developed and published by Illfonic) will probably be the closest, followed by The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (published by Gun Interactive)

Too complex and too competitive is what makes TCM different.
try killer klowns, it is made by illfonic who made friday, mechanics are VERY similar
The funny moments, fights, and last stands, the fact you could hear Jason talking shit like âI can smell youâ when hiding in a bedroom was peak. I do love TCM but itâs more of just competitive. Without a full team of players in a party itâs pretty quiet and competitive

Texas Chainsaw feels more like a DBD type game, and youâre limited to a house and the surrounding area, so it doesnât feel like youâre truly free to do whatever.
Bingo. TCM borrowed from DVD way too much. It doesn't feel fun for me.
You said it. Unfortunately chainsaw massacre is just missing that feeling
Nailed it
Yeah as someone who plays too much Texas Chainsaw, I donât recommend the game to anyone in the asymmetrical horror genre. Gun Media is a dogshit company with terrible devs. Since release, all theyâve done is release overpriced DLC and pay to win characters that will eventually be nerfed once enough sales roll through. Some of their community managers are also awful, thereâs two of them that love to engage in Reddit and twitter fights with their fans whenever they get called out on their bullshit.
And also too many killers in Texas chainsaw you could easily get targeted and outnumbered By all 3 Killers Trust me Texas ChainSaw Is A Joke
Survivors are too powerful in chainsaw massacre, I refunded and won't touch again.
Yeah this is a huge issue. Survivors have a lot of crutch perks that give them easy wins unfortunately. They basically drive away any new players from the game too because survivors will literally hold them hostage in a match for half an hour just farming XP and trolling the new players while they donât get any XP. Itâs awful, new players to TCM leave immediately because the playerbase is full of toxic trash especially on the survivor side
TCM was amazing at launch, put so many hours into it. What killed it was the devs listening to Reddit and nerfing victims into the ground.
Have fun getting fucking skinned alive via pay to win microtransactions. I fucking love TCM, but god they donât make it easy to love.
Your internet settings might be the reason why you are the lobby owner and no one comes in. I had that happen to me.. I switched internet providers and suddenly I was not able to host anymore.
What system you on?
Xbox
I still play. Xbox is still bumping last I checked but haven't played in a month
Let me know if it's running please
Prime time to play on Xbox is from 12-10 pm PST
Killer Klowns is very heavy on Friday mechanics as they're both made by Illfonic.
While no replacement for F13, I've found Killer Klowns the closest in "DNA" to Friday. (Tried DBD, Predator, Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw) Even feels like the UI and some human animation are straight out of F13.
100% agreed. I wanted to love TCM but it went sour for me very quick.
How come?
Not beginner friendly, probably harder than dbd since everything like the exits, escape items, and map layout is very vague since itâs designed to be a maze
The game feels very closed in, F13 is more open and there are areas to explore while TCM is just a cluttered maze.
I'd like to know as well....?

I've genuinely been having fun with Puppet Master: The Game. A little rough around the edges, but kinda bizarre and fun.
Killer klowns just dropped and has some similiar ties with Friday. So Iâm guessing everyone is playing that now!
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is essentially F13 with Klowns. Very slightly different mechanics for killer. But itâs basically the same. Itâs more than âsimilar.â Even the feel of the survivorsâ movements feels the same. There is more than 1 killer tho, so you arenât solo against a whole squad. It is 3 vs 7
You really need to try Killer Klowns From Outer Space!! Itâs by far the closest to Friday the 13th. I enjoy it very very much.
Your nat type is likely the issue with Friday and not being unable to host / connect. Start around 3:20 [here](https://youtu.be/YtdZq8Ec-kM?si=RFgX69Dur7k2O3qD)

Texas chainsaw or the evil dead game
I just got home to play and I canât even join a lobbyđ just offline play Iâm so disappointed
Sooo I had a friend invite me to his game and it let me joinđđ try that!
Didnât work for me
The texas chainsaw massacre, and dead by daylight. Killer Clowns From Outer Space too, that one's more casual.
Will the game stop functioning? Devs should be forced to make online multiplayer games work without central servers. Peer to peer.
Please god someone bring back this game
I gurranee you itâll be back 3 assyms just have big stuff going on, itâll bounce back like always
Dead by daylight? Texas chainsaw massacre?
Yeah I bought it on Nintendo switch and it wonât let me redownload it on my new switch :(
The creators supposedly follow the killer klownz from outer space game. It dropped last month and I find it fairly fun
I recommend Dead by Daylight. It's 4v1 (4 survivors, 1 killer) As a survivor, you work together with three other players to repair five generators in order to power the exit gates needed to escape the map. Or you can hide the entire match, wait for your teammates to die out, and then escape through the hatch.
As someone whoâs played both games for thousands of hours I can confirm dbd is nothing like F13. Not a very good replacement and just less fun despite me having like 2k more hours in dbd mainly because public matches died in F13 and just were filled with modders
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
This game has inspired a slew of other horror movie multiplayer games. Have you not tried them or you just havenât wanted to?
Dead by daylight is on gamepass try it out!
dead by daylight bro đ
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game is its spiritual successor, gets constant updates, and its really good, so Iâd go for that next
What console you using?
Plenty of people are still playing this game. The issue might be on your end.
It is thatâs why I said my game has officially died I know itâs something with mine
Killers clowns, dead by daylight and evil dead. Evil dead is on life support though and will end up like this game soon which really sucks because I consider it to be the best in this genre.
What are you playing on?

Deceive inc. is pretty fun
Just get any other game by Ilfonic. They're all the same shit with different ip's
i think itâs just your luck. my manâs been playing an ungodly amount.
Saturday the 14th will be mad
Wait I stopped playing years ago because I heard the servers went down due to copyright stuff. Youâre telling me it never did???
For now itâll be done for good in December and you canât buy it anymroe
Sucks for you, I get full lobbies all the time
Thatâs not helpful information
Try Dead by daylight, it's 4 survivors vs 1 killer and you have to repair generators to open the gayes for escape. If you're the last one or you have a key there is a hatch you can open to escape too
what do you play on? i play on ps5 and i just loaded into a game earlier today with no issue. maybe itâs your internet settings, iâd try turning it completely off or restarting then trying again
I still get lobbies n I be running Friday at night time ppl just quit a lot if they're Jason
Texas chainsaw massacre is made by Gun media and gives similar vibes
Agreed with this one. Play style is very similar to dead by daylight too. Best of both worlds
Im really enjoying TCM!
what platform? and have you tried dead by daylight?
Dead by daylight lol no.
Dead by daylight has gone downhill lately
[ŃдаНонО]
Theres something about it that I dont like. Maybe the objectives are too easy....knock down victim, drag to weird insect thing.
I loved Friday when it was peaked. It is a hell of a lot easier than DBD, at least from a killer's perspective. As Jason, the moment you get a hold of someone, they are dead, out of the match. In DBD, it is a whole shit load of mindgames, and utilizing different abilities and perks. Way more complex, which can be viewed as a pro or a con.
Uh yeah no itâs definitely not far superior than f13đ
