Friday the 13th: Resurrected Is a Mod That Aims to Revive Delisted Horror Game, Release Date Coming Soon

Despite its delisting and the impending shuttering of its servers, fans of Friday the 13th: The Game have reason to rejoice, thanks to a fan project.

Friday the 13th: Resurrected is a free-to-play modded build of Friday the 13th: The Game, and the team behind the project announced yesterday that it plans to reveal the release date for the mod on Monday, April 15. Along with providing dedicated multiplayer servers, Resurrected also promises to introduce a roster full of exclusive fan-made content, such as new characters and skins.

The time has come campers… Look out for Friday the 13th: Resurrected release date reveal coming April 15th, 2024.

We’ll see you SOON. https://t.co/sDwNkRG32v

— Friday the 13th: The Game | Resurrected (@F13Resurrected) April 1, 2024 Last year, publisher Gun Interactive announced it was delisting the game on December 31, 2023, due to the publisher losing the Friday the 13th license. While the servers are still up and running, the same statement also revealed that the servers would shut down on December 31, 2024.

Naturally, this mod has limited access if you did not buy Friday the 13th: The Game before its delisting last December. Nevertheless, it’s a nice win for fans of horror games and those that enjoyed what Friday the 13th: The Game offered.

Friday the 13th: The Game was released in 2017, though its entire life cycle was plagued by legal disputes over the ownership of the iconic slasher horror franchise. The legal disputes got so bad that the developer had to halt the development of new content for the game in 2019 before ultimately canceling the post-launch content altogether in 2021. The new content that was supposed to be added to the game includes a werewolf mode inspired by gameplay found in Inner Sloth’s Among Us.

In our review of Friday the 13th: The Game, IGN wrote: “Lopsided gameplay and egregious bugs almost kill the mood of Jason’s murder spree in Friday the 13th: The Game.”
